SAY Sí (San Antonio, Texas)
The SAY Sí team used the COVID 19 pandemic as inspiration for their project Quaranteen Time Capsule.
The aim of this project was to create a space for their young creatives to capture their experiences of all the
elements of their daily lives during this unique time in history through
media pieces of their choice. This project allowed the SAY Sí team to
continue engaging with their wider community in a new virtual setting,
while young creatives continued to develop their media making skills. 98
young creatives submitted artwork for the time capsule. These artworks
consisted of: visual arts pieces utilizing a variety of techniques, comics,
photography, digital art, pixel art, sketching, podcasts series, films,
interactive fiction, machinima and performing art productions.
Venice Arts (Venice, California, USA)
The young creatives from Venice Arts wanted their project to focus on
youth experiencing homeless in their community. However, due to the health and physical distancing guidelines
in place in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Venice Arts team reimagined their original plan for a
multimedia docu-series to be produced through virtual collaboration. The new virtual curriculum consisted of a
wide range of skill development and peer collaboration opportunities. 10 participants connected virtually and
produced short-films using archival footage and interviews conducted through web conferencing video calls to
bring a different perspective on youth experiencing homelessness in their community.
