The Reparation Project

Project details match catalog

About

I am making an essay-film using AI, Black genealogy, oral history and the archive to repair lost connections between Afro-Brazilians and their ancestors in Brazil and Africa

Impact

Memory is a key pillar for healing and reparation. I use art and technology to repair the Black lineages deliberately erased throughout the slave trade and after the abolition in 1888, allowing families and individuals to heal and reconnect.

Progress

I interviewed Black families and had meetings with activists, academics, public archives, UN and Unesco. I tested the use of AI in filmmaking using FamilySearch CAI, MidJourney and Adobe Suite. I have invested around U$15 K in the development stage.

Team

I am an award-winning filmmaker and journalist. I am the descendant of African enslaved people. My great-grandfather was born into slavery. I am committed to creating films that speak to the Black experience and can promote healing and reparation.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
