Into the Archives is an immersive exhibition presented by
Black Terminus that uses augmented reality to bring the Black
Panther Party Legacy & Alumni Archives to life.
For the 55th anniversary of the Black Panther Party, Black Terminus
has partnered with Billy X and the It’s About Time/Black Panther Party
Legacy & Alumni Archive to bring the covers of the Black Panther
Party Intercommunal Newspaper to Life.
Through the use of the Black Terminus App, an augmented reality
camera for Black art and the Black cultural archive, visitors will be
able to use their smartphone or tablet to mix the digital and
physical world.
1. Download the @blackterminusar app in the IOS or
Android Store
2. Hold the Black Terminus AR camera up to the image
of the sample artworks.
