Littleglobe (Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA)
In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Littleglobe team designed a new online TV-style program for their
young creatives to continue engaging and developing their creative expression, while connecting to the larger
community during this unique time. 16 young creatives participated in Littleglobe TV which provided the young
creatives with a purpose to continue to create by curating a platform to share uplifting stories about the Sante
Fe community during the ongoing pandemic, in addition to opportunities to develop their digital media skills.
For this new virtual program, the Littleglobe team partnered with
other local communities to reach and better support these young
creatives to connect and collaborate on episodes. These Littleglobe
TV episodes consist of mini-stories, songs, interviews, jokes, and
other elements that share the day-to-day stories of people from
Santa Fe during this pandemic to celebrate their community's
creativity, resilience and humor in the face of uncertain times.
Salt Lake City Prayasam (Kolkata, India)
Salt Lake City Prayasam's ongoing project PERIOD was
redesigned to be delivered virtually during the COVID
19 pandemic. The main purpose of this project is to use
media as a tool to address the topic of menstruation
amongst the community at large, changing attitudes
and outlooks on the subject. Given the digital divide
and lack of access to internet and data, the Salt Lake
City Prayasam team set up five wifi zones in their
community to support young creatives with accessing
the resources required to complete this project. 375
young creatives participated in this project. They created short films, podcasts and photo stories to foster
dialogue and understanding to create an environment where menstruation isn't a taboo. The media pieces
created were showcased in a virtual film festival and online exhibition.
