Stories
The eo Studio staff conducted a series of interviews with selected members of Philadelphia's activist, civic, and grower communities. The interviews spotlight individuals who engage in the arts, urban gardening, community organizing, and climate justice. Through personal narratives, they explain their current community-centered projects and speculate on the future climate. During the interviews, 3D scanning also took place in order to create the avatars that appeared in the VJ Performance. The interviews were distilled into thematic segments that all together with the avatars, comprised a narrative flow that took form as an ‘opera’ in the Performances in the Cut. Below are the themes and the interview excerpts that were included in the DJ/VJ Performances.
