Symposium on Afrofuturism and Diasporic Research

We present “A MAGIC Tour of Mitchelville”, a research project being developed by faculty and students in NC State’s MADTech department in collaboration with Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, an inspiring Gullah-Geechee heritage site on Hilton Head Island, SC. This presentation will show student prototypes done last summer to develop an interpretive scene of the new ghosted structures in the park that feature digital simulations of Gullah elder interviews, and current field research to bring NC State students to Hilton Head Island to collaborate with high-school students in the Modeling our Ancestors to Generate Influence and Change (MAGIC) docent program.
