Our year-long intensive focus on Diversity Plaza and the surrounding neighborhood looks at documentation of a community gathering place as an act of resistance.
This initiative centers local voices as a means of people-powered place-keeping, with the intent to reinvigorate interest in maintaining the space by and for the local community as in years past.
Our team will harness an interdisciplinary, ethnographic and transmedia approach to contemporary cultural documentation that will ultimately contribute to a multivocal, functional, and fully accessible digital archive for use by the local community & for deposit with the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
Stay tuned for our Sonicycle-led interactive community documentation programs this summer!
