Touchable Richmond: A Walk-through Art Maze

TS.jpg A team of artists who call themselves Touchable Stories has been in Richmond, Calif., creating an interactive installation based on the lives and viewpoints of that community. "Richmond: The Story Continues," November 9-December 15, 2007, builds on community responses to "Richmond Introduction." The series, two years in development, asks “Who is Richmond?” The artists created rooms based community research and interviews. A dozen rooms were then connected to form a walk-through maze, each interactive and designed by a different artist, each using soundtracks created from the recorded stories. The Richmond project features the city's Native American presence, multi-use shoreline, place in the history of the Blues, Latino history, toxic legacies and the Tent City Peace Movement, "the grassroots nonviolence phenomenon born two years ago on the killing grounds of inner Richmond."
