Divesting from the Algorithms: A #BlackDirectory Creator Showcase

Divesting from the Algorithms: A #BlackDirectory Creator Showcase is a public exhibition that proposes the need for internet users to divest from algorithmic recommendations systems. Instead, by engaging in content curation, we can explore new, more critical and communal relationships with digital content. This event aims to educate attendees about algorithmic bias while facilitating space for creators and audiences to interrogate their experiences with algorithmically distributed content and bridge the knowledge gap between creators and audiences. The exhibition invites attendees to physically walk through a curation of videos from the directory and invites creators to lead discussion panels about their experience with content creation and consumption.

The exhibition is taking place at the Haugabrooks Art Gallery on Auburn Avenue from January 30 - February 1, 2026 with the opening reception is taking place on Friday January 30th from 5-9pm. The panel discussion portion of the opening reception will begin at 6pm with a short presentation about algorithmic bias into a discussion and a Q&A session.
