Shortlisted for the Visionary Award from the Tim Hetherington Trust 2018

PEOPLE’S CULTURE collective is shortlisted for “Fireflies of Brownsville”.  People’s Culture is a collaborative production with active involvement of over 100 participants, all residents and protagonists in the violent experience of life in Brownsville, a highly concentrated development of public housing in Brooklyn, New York.  The project is focused on the production of a “docu-game”, an innovative application of computer gaming that both documents and engages participation with an ultimate ambition of educating participants and observers to reach beyond the stereotypes to find understanding of how things are and how they might be different.  Built with the people of Brownsville and for the people of Brownsville “Fireflies” will demonstrate a model that can be reproduced infinitely by communities far and wide using the template technology developed here.
