☾ Kodex Noire


Kodex Noire was designed to be an open-source community resource for those called to contribute to the design and development of griot infrastructure. It includes Afrofuturist frameworks, decolonial methodologies, and lab guides that can be incorporated into workshops, hackathons, courses, homeschool, study groups, and salons.

“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein.”
