About

Lina Giraldo believes individuals should not just be consumers but producers. Her residency focused on community members as active participants in social practice through creative production. During her workshops, youth and seniors used coding and technology to build their own cameras. They later used the cameras to interview community members. The Project’s primary motivation was to create ownership and understand identity using technology and storytelling. Her residency included an exhibit at Laconia gallery, creating a connection between the Hyde Park community and the Boston Arts world. An interactive video installation is currently up at the Hyde Park community center. The installation allows the viewer to see them in the movement of the artwork.
