There’s a new must-see exhibition in New York City!
Digital art platform Kinfolk recently launched its NYC-wide exhibition called the Signature Series. Through augmented reality or AR, the series places digital monuments that represent Black history and culture across the city created by New York artists Pamela Council, Derrick Adams, Tourmaline, and Hank Willis Thomas. The Kinfolk app lets people view the digital monuments using tech created by Niantic Lightship (the company behind Pokémon Go).
“I want people to understand the spaces that we’re walking around. Understand that the government and institutions are not prioritizing the lives and impact of Black, brown, and queer people on the spaces that we walk through. Kinfolk is an initiative and an organization that’s committed to reimagining these spaces and prioritizing Black, brown, and queer communities within them,” says Idris Brewster, who co-founded Kinfolk along with Glenn Cantave and Micah Milner.
