Replicating Du Bois with R

· R-Ladies Cambridge

Session details & materials

Recreate a Du Bois challenge plate with ggplot2 and explore its colours and visual design.

Abstract: In this video, you’ll learn how to use {ggplot2} to replicate one of the ongoing #DuboisChallenge2024 plates. The original plates are part of W.E.B. Du Bois’s legacy from back in 1900, showcased at the Paris Exposition. I’ll be using modern tools such as R. We’ll explore the colors used in the plates and delve into the intricacies of the challenge by understanding the perspective of hand-made graphs in the ‘Duboisian’ style.
