MEMORY OF PLACE: A VIRTUAL WALKING TOUR

CLIENT / FUNDED BY: HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF GREATER LOS ANGELES

How do you do a sensory-based walking tour during a pandemic? Make it a video, and invite everyone to contribute their own portion of the tour. In this case, we worked in collaboration with Place It, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angelesw and the residents of the Washington Neighborhood of Long Beach to explore everyone's favorite places in the neighborhood. They then filmed themeselves in these spots talking about why they loved them, and then we spliced the videos all together into a virtual tour. After going on the proverbial tour, we then moved into a creative exercise in which people used found objects from around their homes to build their ideal Washington Neighborhood. Watch the how-to video above, then watch the resulting tour HERE.
