Black Public Media Residency at the Carson Center

Black Public Media (BPM) and the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts are collaborating on a new residency for Black filmmakers, creative technologists, and artists who need access to emerging-tech equipment, studio time, or workspace. The in-person residency was launched on the campus of University of Nebraska-Lincoln during the summer of 2022. Emerging technologies include, but are not limited to, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics and 3D printing. Candidates may also choose to focus on older technologies, such as projection mapping, multichannel video, VFX, or 3D animation.  Black Public Media is based in New York City, and the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts is based at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Residency funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Johnny Carson Foundation.
