Mapping the Spirit is a digital archive that documents the textures and nuance of Black religious experience in the United States through longform interviews, photography, video, and ephemera.

Mapping the Spirit is not concerned about documenting religious practices; rather, Mapping the Spirit concerns itself with the impossible work of documenting how Black faith lives, shifts, and self-revises.
