Crafting Black Narratives
How do you showcase the many dimensions of a character, while also intertwining their identity with the world they're in? In the case of Black narratives in video games, stories of the past have often painted Black characters either in a one-dimensional light, a flat view, or rendered void of cultural context. Whether it's in worlds real or imagined, there's a balance that needs to be made. This panel will touch on how to create Black narratives, in worlds real and imagined, while simultaneously honoring the culture in the pursuit of creating something new. The panelwill also identify the obstacles that stand in the way of producing Black characters with depth and layers that feel unequivocally human.
