Our Story

Undisciplined is a cultural computing research lab.

We build tools, frameworks, and experimental interventions grounded in the belief that culture and context are what make artificial intelligence truly intelligent.

With support from the Mozilla Creative Media Award, Undisciplined is currently hosting a critical data studies workshop that explores how indigenous African and community-based knowledge systems can inform new approaches to machine learning and algorithm design. We don’t just process data—we process meaning, rooted in culture and community.

Undisciplined was founded by artist and researcher

Imani C. Mkandawire, PhD.
