VR access for attendees to explore The Healing Project walkthrough experience:
Samora Pinderhughes' Digital Archive emerges as a groundbreaking open-source platform, seamlessly integrating AR/VR technology to construct a mobile-friendly, immersive space. This digital realm serves as an accessible exhibit, prioritizing inclusivity, where individuals can engage with Samora's work in a fully interactive medium. The Digital Archive's dual identity as both a musical album and an interactive exhibition underscores Samora's unwavering commitment to democratizing access to artistic spaces, allowing every person to connect with the art form in their own unique capacity.
Within the Digital Archive, five distinct rooms—Marked v. Seen, Messy & Grieving, Society Made Me, Places & Dreams, and Healing Perspectives—unfold to represent diverse personal experiences. These rooms feature poignant quotes from individuals, offering insights into their journeys dealing with incarceration and its profound psychological effects.
The Marked v. Seen exhibit confronts the pervasive dehumanizing stigmas that formerly incarcerated individuals confront in their daily lives, exploring the inherent otherness associated with their past experiences.
Messy & Grieving delves into the ongoing trauma individuals face, emphasizing the continuous healing process and the importance of acknowledging the need for help.
Society Made Me sheds light on the stoic and indifferent bureaucratic nature of the prison system, exposing how it dehumanizes individuals by treating them as disposable entities, devoid of humanity.
Places & Dreams transcends imprisonment, delving into individuals' aspirations and perspectives on life beyond confinement, revealing their goals and hopes for the future.
Healing Perspectives poses a crucial question: "What would a space built for healing look like, and what would you imagine?" Through insightful quotes, this exhibit captures diverse visions of healing, emphasizing its boundless nature and the myriad ways in which individuals can embark on their unique journeys toward recovery. -Tommy Liautaud
