BUILDING HISTORY 3.0 PROJECT

This project is available for viewing from October 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020. Click here to view the project.

Led by a team from UCLA, BUILDING HISTORY 3.0 is an online collection of interactive activities that teach kids about the World War II Japanese American incarceration camps. Everything has been designed for kids—from short documentaries to game-based learning activities in Minecraft. Kids, teachers, parents, and families can learn about what daily life was like for the people who were incarcerated in the camps and why their stories are relevant today.

REORIENT: Emerging Media

REORIENT highlights creative works in emerging media—virtual reality, video games, live streaming, and more. Although we are sheltering at home, the projects featured here bring us to outer space and the depths of the ocean, into digital worlds, and the minds of plants. This year’s program also showcases innovative responses to the constraints of creating and connecting amidst a global pandemic. From Zoom performances to interactive soundscapes, these projects offer compelling explorations of our relationship to community, memory, and the world(s) around us. — Sue Ding
