Digital Storytelling & Experience Design
The Black Panther movie is a love letter to black culture on film. This pop-up experience is our love letter back. Wakanda is a sacred place. There are so few spaces that black people are allowed to bring 100% of themselves to on a daily basis. We were inspired, encouraged, and liberated by a world so revelatory in its blackness. To honor the movie, and in the spirit of every month being Black History Month, we gathered a group of black creatives to showcase how we can step into Wakanda IRL.
