Enter magical, hand-drawn worlds, cultural pockets of NYC and beyond, and jump back in time through non-traditional modes of storytelling. This mix of unique experiences includes (2) games (Paz It On!, Metamorphosis), (1) site-specific augmented reality experience on Doyers Street in NYC’s Chinatown, (1) short film that uses augmented reality technology to integrate animation (A New Normal), (1) interactive website (Little Pakistan - Future Histories), and (2) 360 video experiences (Haenyeo VR, A South Asian Story). Please join us on this journey as we visit the female divers of the Haenyeo community in the Korean province of Jeju; delve into WWI from the perspective of South Asian troops; and follow the journeys of Pakistani immigrant communities across America.
