Tlacololokos Week 2! New Collaborators and ideation

MarlonCreative

Last week we had a great experience with our creative partners at the Library Foundation of Los Angeles. They are currently focused on showcasing artwork in the Central Library that reflects the community and so their current exhibition was made by a collective from Oaxaca that looks at visual language as a way of transcending borders. The murals titled "Oaxacalifornia," provides an alternate perspective on California history that gives voice not only to the Zapotec community but to all indigenous communities whose back stories have been overlooked. 

We believe VR can be a powerful tool for achieving this goal and will be collaborating with the Library as well as the artists, Dario and Cerna as strategic partners. To help create a shared vision we volunteered to shoot a 360º video tour of the current mural exhibition so that we could ideate around making these rich narratives come to life. A few days later we returned to share our cut. This was the library team's first VR experience. We also gave the team a presentation on the future of education, and Oculus as a platform for them to bring people together and showcase content in a variety of ways leveraging everything from 180º video to interactive games. 

Tips for working with community stakeholders

  • Co-create by involving them in the creative process early
  • Look for ways to create value exchange by teaching or offering pro-bono service 
  • Approach preemptive work such as VR as a way toward strategic futures
