Andrea will continue to expand upon her work and develop a solar powered, mobile Museum of Black Joy. The portable exhibition tower will be available to provide on-site exhibitions at public events, like Juneteenth, Odunde, and neighborhood gatherings, as well as in schools, at bus stops, and in any imaginable community or institutional settings. Andrea’s intention is to provide a portable, multimedia, aesthetic experience (with Black Joy at its center) that also serves a practical, functional purpose that will include a hotspot, mobile charging station, and open source, roundware technology to archive stories of Black Joy. Equipped with a recording device that would allow participants to share geo-located stories of joy, Andrea aims to uphold and protect joy as a revolutionary process and practice.
