Mimi Onuoha: Ground Truth | Creative Capital Project

Learn more about "Ground Truth," by artist Mimi Onuoha, Creative Capital Grantee 2022. In 2018, Sugar Land county’s school district unearthed the remains of 95 Black people who died through the violent 19th-century practice of convict leasing. This discovery of the “Sugar Land 95” caused unease throughout the city—how could a pleasant and innocuous town sit atop such a brutal past? In "Ground Truth," Mimi Onuoha builds a machine-learning model that looks for convict-leasing-era mass burial graves in other counties in the US. The model will be mathematically sound, and its results will be communicated through printed and digital maps, however, the project carries countless impossibilities: of actually digging for remains, and also of scientific methodology to attend to grief, pain, and accountability. Ground Truth treats undiscovered graves as entrance points for disentangling the US’s relationship to land, Blackness, and its own history. Through statistical speculative research, the eventual installation foregrounds the unknowability of sites laced with legacies of violence, agency, and power.
