@somethingmodern and I had a great conversation with Seika Boye about graphic recordings in research. Seika has been interested in what else oral histories can look like, and Kate and I have been curious about what else data visualizations can look like. visceralhistories.wordpress.com/2025/06/24/gra…

And it helps us understand the importance of Alvin Ailey not only as a choreographer but also as someone who shared a living history of dance with audiences around the world. Radical Accounting develops the model that we established during #dunhamsdata for museum publics.

It has been a couple of weeks since Edges of Ailey opened at @whitneymuseum whitney.org/exhibitions/ed…. @somethingmodern and I are so excited about our Radical Accounting series of dance data visualizations being included in this beautiful exhibition, open thru February 9, 2025.
