Memory-Mapping ATL invites you to share your photos and memories by placing them on a 3D map of metro Atlanta. Facilitated by interactive media designer Kennedy Arnette, we’ll provide printing and storytelling tools to help you place yourself in the story of this ever-changing city. This event begins with a panel discussion of Atlanta based artists and cultural workers, sharing the different ways we can memorialize our relationship to a place while continuing to shape it through communal archiving.
Kennedy Arnette is a memory-keeper, interactive media designer, and teaching artist who develops accessible frameworks for communal learning. With a practice rooted in UI design and contemporary ecology, they study migratory oral-visual traditions toward the creation of immersive living archives and various educational programs via the Perennial Memory Lab. Using culturally intuitive strategies, Kennedy works to support Black people and the historically dispossessed as we uncover and share our unique stories in ways that only we can.
