Coded Black: 360

Runtime: 00:11:23

Immerse yourself in a highly atmospheric and provoking journey through the history of anti-blackness in the US and UK. Trace the origins of racial ideologies, their motivations, contradictions, and nightmarish consequences – from a 19th-century plantation to a mid-20th-century cityscape.

This 360° video is a condensed version of a larger interactive PC game which explores Black humanity, intellect and resilience, and offers crucial insight into why anti-Black racism has always been destructive, not only to its targets but to bystanders, perpetrators, lawmakers, and entire societies.

An experience designed to be mentally and emotionally difficult; content includes graphic descriptions of racist violence and murder taken from real historical sources.
