*This is not a Comprehensive list, only inspiration for further research for academics seeking to increase representation in New Media Curricula. The list is based on a spreadsheet, the Mini Atlas of Black New Media Arts & Scholarship. That list is specifically focused on Black, defined as African-American or of African descent. which is initially based on a list by Anandkumar, A., Moline, A., Guiton, P. S. (2020) , Atlas of Black Scholarship for Inclusive and Racially Diverse STEM Curricula – Volume I. QUBES Educational Resources. doi:10.25334/CEM2-HH58. I’ve added to their list but I’d consider this section to still be quite limited at this time. This section is the most in flux, should not be considered a definitive list of the most important artists, and should be reorganized! Many of these artists fit among many categories.
