An interactive photography and interview project highlighting the experiences of Black techies in the UK
The Black Techies Project is an interactive photography and interview project that focuses exclusively on black people in tech, in all their varied identities, but also as a specifically underrepresented group in technical roles within the industry. It presents an opportunity for a variety of conversations - on one side, the importance of representation, that you ‘Can’t be what you can’t see’ whilst on the flip side, black techies who might be isolated in their places of work, or their careers can see others like themselves. The Black Techies Project was inspired by Helena Price's Techies Project.
