Places of Power - Las Parcelas and Colobó Gardens Exhibition
2026-06-05 17:00 - 2026-07-19 20:00 (America/New_York) | Cherry Street Pier, 121 N Christopher Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA, 19106, United States
Termite TV’s community-based “Places of Power” Augmented Reality / VR exhibition will be on view at Studio 1, Cherry Street Pier from June 1 to 15, 2026. “Places of Power” aims to inspire participatory, community-driven, technology-enabled media arts production in Philadelphia communities facing cultural erasure, strengthening community bonds, prompting intergenerational sharing, and preserving stories and memories among the city’s underserved communities.
Through a co-creation process, Termite TV artists lead workshops in visual storytelling, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 3D Photogrammetry. Using these emerging media tools allows participants to create immersive works and experiences that amplify the sense of memory, kinship, connection, and empathy. Through the AR installations created by the participants, physical landmarks and objects in the neighborhood are transformed into portals, bringing the voices and memories of residents to life.
