Book Launch–Data Consciousness Reframing Blackness in Contemporary Print with Tiffany Barber, Safiya Noble, Silas Munro, and Randa Hadi

Join us for a celebration and conversation commemorating the publication of Data Consciousness: Reframing Blackness in Contemporary Print, edited by Dr. Tiffany Barber. This volume accompanies the exhibition of the same name, which was featured at Print Center New York, from September 18 to December 20, 2025. The book features contributions from Dr. Safiya Noble and Los Angeles-based designer and artist Silas Munro, whose work appeared in the original exhibition, alongside his colleague Randa Hadi, who served as the lead designer for the book. The event includes a conversation between Barber, Noble, Munro, and Hadi, followed by a showcase of graduate student research at the intersection of Black Studies, Critical Data Studies, and Aesthetics.

Data Consciousness: Reframing Blackness in Contemporary Print engages with the intellectual legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois and his contributions to sociology, art, and aesthetics. Through this engagement, they explore how technology and data increasingly mediate issues of race, identity, and equity.
