ABSTRACT

Iyapo Repository is a resource library, created by Ayodamola Okunseinde and Salome Asega, that houses a collection of digital and physical artifacts created to affirm and project the future of people of African descent.

This chapter describes the genesis of the repository, its development at the Eyebeam residency and lessons gleaned from various repository workshops and exhibitions. Additionally, the chapter looks at workshop and prototype methods utilized to create the repository.

It is hoped this chapter would serve as inspiration for envisioning alternate futures and its methods used as tools for healing and catharsis.
