Going Forth
We will be launching our new interactive LandofOpportunity website at the end of the summer. The past months have been dedicated to the conceptualization, design and development of this innovative site that digs deep into urban equity issues through “layered” multimedia narratives. This foray into technologically enhanced storytelling has stretched us creatively and intellectually in ways we never thought possible!
This month in particular we have focused on content creation/curation in conjunction with strategic partners in New Orleans and sister cities. It’s been a great joy to co-conspire with an amazing array of “pilot” partners, who bring different perspectives, approaches and awe-inspiring knowledge to this collaborative storytelling space. This diverse group includes Sandy Storyline, the National Housing Institute, the University of Illinois-Chicago, Bridge the Gulf, New Orleans Coalition on Open Governance and many other mediamakers, educators and advocates in New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Detroit. We are thrilled that the content on our site will reflect a truly diverse spectrum of thinkers and doers who are engaging with the complex issue of urban equity in myriad ways.
So, as many of us throw a burger, vegetable or soy-product on the grill this July 4th, we’ll also be chewing over the big question: What kinds of cities do we want to (re)build in 21st Century America?
Thank you for your support, and please continue to follow us in the coming months as we prepare for the unveiling of LandofOpportunity!
