Lei Ye MDes ’21 was invited by Data for Black Lives (D4BL) to create an art project for their annual conference, held at the Pérez Art Museum Miami in November 2024. The project focuses on social justice and uses data visualization to encourage audiences to reflect on what lies behind and beyond data. It aims to provoke thought about the deeper implications of data in driving social awareness and change.

“I am honored to contribute to this meaningful event with a project that bridges art, data, and social justice. Exhibiting at the Pérez Art Museum is an incredible opportunity to spark dialogue about the stories and realities behind the numbers,” shared Lei.
