Research

AADHum continues to deepen its commitments to broadening the landscape of Black digital humanities, while also highlighting the numerous places where Black DH intersects with electronic literature, digital storytelling, computational poetics, and public humanities more generally. Through our own boundary-pushing research collaborations with leading scholars in the arts and humanities, AADHum serves as a vibrant center for Black DH research both in the greater Washington, DC area as well as nationally and internationally.

"Remix. Relive. Remember." is a computational poem exploring the ways historical structures of violence reemerge across time. Utilizing a markov chain to remix writing from Black writers (Alexander, Beyoncé, Butler, and more), the project is a living, repeating poem that demands the audience’s intervention to end the cycle.
