“Candice’s work is so rich because it is based in a deep and sincere interest in the humanities, said Michael Nitsche, the LMC associate professor who worked with Butts on the project. “She started off with a close look at the history – both social as well as geographical – of Oakland Cemetery and identified the story of the Slave Square as the core of her project. The actual implementation combines tangible interaction design and historical reenactment to bring the stories of the former Slave Square to life.”
