Du Bois Challenge 2024
The goal of this challenge is to celebrate the data viz legacy of W.E.B Du Bois—a Black American civil rights activist, sociologist and writer—by recreating the visualizations from the 1900 Paris Exposition using modern tools.
In general, I specialize in coding interactive, responsive data visualizations. Therefore I used D3 and Svelte to create modern adaptations of Du Bois' originals. For this challenge, I tried to recreate it as close to the original as possible, adding only minor interactive features.
You can find the corresponding code here on Github.
