ROⓊTED: 2023 Interactive Oral History Exhibits
In this year’s collection of interactive oral history experiences, we invite you to travel with us as we explore oral history as a way to both create and to examine connections to place and to our history.
We shared curatorial experiments that ask how stories circulate through space and time and social worlds, who gets to listen and where and how and why. We hosted events around the boroughs of New York City, in churches, apartments, libraries, arts spaces and parks. We gathered online and on the radio and in VR.
