Resurrection Pro League builds upon the legacy of text based games, glitch graphics and community archives to reimagine bodies in virtual space. A successful search for the ancestors of black trans people leads to their resurrection in a digital archive called The Black Sea, where people can visit them and benefit from their presence. Soon, however, trans tourism takes over and black trans history is being appropriated and exploited. The ancestors need to be secured from this awful fate. So: why are you here?

Resurrection Pro League baze sou eritaj jwèt ki baze sou tèks, grafik glitch ak achiv kominotè pou reimajine kò nan espas vityèl. Yon rechèch siksè pou zansèt moun trans nwa yo mennen nan rezirèksyon yo nan yon achiv dijital ki rele Lanmè Nwa a, kote moun ka vizite yo epi benefisye de prezans yo. Byento, sepandan, touris trans pran pye yo epi istwa moun trans nwa yo vinn apwopriye ak eksplwate. Zansèt yo bezwen pwoteksyon pou soti nan sò terib sa a. Kidonk: poukisa w la?
