This presentation introduces the AfroFutures Now Digital Archive, a Black feminist digital humanities project co-created with Black women-led organizations across the Global South and diaspora. Developed through the Black Women Shaping Afrofutures initiative, the archive provides a framework for communities to document, preserve, and share knowledge often excluded from traditional archives. Dr. Loeonora Paula Souza discussed the project’s digital infrastructure, participatory design process, and use of archival practice as a form of epistemic reparations. The talk reflects on digital technology as a tool for community knowledge preservation, collective imagination, and publicly engaged humanities scholarship.

This project was featured at the Fall 2026 DH Research Showcase.
