Creative Media Industries Institute at Georgia State at 25 Park Pl NE. Through funds received from A&E Atlanta, The Praise House Project collaborates with the CMII Lab, located where Peachtree meets Auburn Avenue, to create a new digital media work to acknowledge the 1906 Race Massacre. The work will draw from the archives of the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American History and Culture and community partners in the district. The presentation will mark the beginning of an ongoing collaboration with the CMII Lab to advance the digital media and technology of the Praise House Project. Overview
In anticipation of the Praise House Project in 2023, for February in honor of Black History Month, artist-activist @blackangelatl will present a series of site-specific public art installations, exhibitions, and programs in downtown Atlanta, along Auburn Avenue and in the King Historic District.
The series will activate multiple public spaces to acknowledge the history of the 1906 Race Massacre and the legacy of Black resistance.
Minniefield is joined by the Praise House Project creative team @binnski, @santiago_paramo, and @thecolorcienna and is sponsored by A&E Atlanta, Fulton County, The Historic District Development Corporation (HDDC), the Stuart A. Rose Library at Emory and the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American History and Culture.
