Reconnect what history took apart
Help build a digital network of museums and libraries
About Us
Creating a Global Digital Database
Full Circle is a non-profit global community for virtual Black storytelling, focused on Mother Africa and the Diaspora.
Our Vision
Full Circle will build a digital platform that connects individuals within the African diaspora to their history and culture and allows them to share their stories to build a lasting global community.
Our Mission
- Present content that documents and teaches the history and cultural impacts of African enslavement
- Introduce life-changing experiential technologies that allows users to transform themselves and the world
- Encourage participants to weave and share experiences in multiple media
- Spread collaboration as a process for social change
Colonialism separated what ought to be seen together
An American museum of African art displays only one of an important ceramic pair of figures. Colonialism caused the other to land in a Dutch museum. Through Full Circle, the pair is reunited digitally, each museum displaying one original and one digital twin. Patrons see them “side by side” for the first time in centuries.
Bring together what history took apart so people can learn, enjoy and connect with their pasts.
You can make a difference
Participating in Full Circle helps museums extend their reach, accelerate research and bring in new visitors. Virtually networked museums will grow content and stories.
“FullCircle’s aim is to become a global non-profit platform, one digital space that unites the past, the people and the future of the Black Atlantic. I fully support this initiative.”
