The Block Museum has released a free mobile web app designed to share the touring exhibition Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time with international audiences. Developed with a team of Northwestern students and the University Libraries, the app makes use of recent developments in mobile technology and the minimal computing movement to make an online version of the exhibition widely accessible.
The app was built to ensure that audiences with limited or intermittent access to network bandwidth and mobile data are able to engage with the exhibition.Presented in English, French, and Arabic, a fully multilingual format offers accessibility to those in the exhibition’s African partner countries and beyond. The app is accessible via web browser on computer desktop and iPhone but is optimized for Android – the primary operating system used on the African continent.
