In the fall, Tim Huang, an assistant professor in the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information, launched the Time Traveling Project, a community-based initiative that uses immersive visual technology to add historical context to the photography of Charles “Teenie” Harris, a prolific chronicler of 20th-century Black life.
The Time Traveling Project is a partnership among the University, the Charles “Teenie” Harris Archive at the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Macedonia Family and Community Enrichment Center, a Hill District faith-based, nonprofit community outreach organization.
