Supported by Humanities Without Walls (Mellon Foundation). Starting in 2017, I began collaboration on&nbsp;Transmedia Collage, a pedagogical model of community engagement undertaken by the Transmedia Story Lab. Eventually, the project expanded into South Side Speculations, a multi-year research project and collection of creative works on Public Histories and Public Futures on Chicago’s South Side. &nbsp; &nbsp; The core of the work was a curriculum developed and delivered for 23 adolescents over two summers. An interdisciplinary team worked with adolescents from specific neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side to study “a climate of structural violence [that] has impacted the health and well-being of black and brown teens” (Bennett, et al 2018), to subsequently envision healthier futures for these neighborhoods. Young people learned and practiced methods from oral history, Speculative Design, and various forms of narrative and media production to address issues of race, health, identity, and individual and collective agency. &nbsp; &nbsp; The two-year curriculum and its resulting media productions—collages, speculative prototypes, and short films—were displayed in multiple public venues on Chicago’s South Side in 2019. These exhibitions were accompanied by programs that brought together residents, scholars, participating young people, and local activists to engage the works produced as new objects (and sites) of discourse for the city and its residents.

Re-orienting oneself to the Past shifts an understanding of the Present which, in turn, opens up new trajectoris toward Future possibilities. Exhibitions of the project used the “Double Cone” schematic as a model to organize the inputs and outputs of the project moving from Past through the Present to the Future. <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/711dda5e62cbab51aba70f73838ff291c9df6d40baa714eb515ee6ae0dcb4250/SSS_Process.jpg" data-mid="92869409" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/711dda5e62cbab51aba70f73838ff291c9df6d40baa714eb515ee6ae0dcb4250/SSS_Process.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bfb8282f262619e1fbcf189d700dacccbefd7a6ff83d12b5d2175d7611efba70/SSS_Process2.jpg" data-mid="92869410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bfb8282f262619e1fbcf189d700dacccbefd7a6ff83d12b5d2175d7611efba70/SSS_Process2.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d358def24805076e995ee73f6d46e4a73a4785a603d83c6d7bbcc9d415e6839a/SSS_Process3.jpg" data-mid="92869411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d358def24805076e995ee73f6d46e4a73a4785a603d83c6d7bbcc9d415e6839a/SSS_Process3.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1704760d08710abb039e3aca1f7de056aa2508e2b0be8f2efdc5d7c65d64184f/SSS_Process4.jpg" data-mid="92869412" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1704760d08710abb039e3aca1f7de056aa2508e2b0be8f2efdc5d7c65d64184f/SSS_Process4.jpg" /> Y1: HISTORY SPECULATIONS WORKSHOP / 2017Workshop Facilitation in collaboration with Dr. Patrick Jagoda, Ireashia Bennett, Gary Kafer (University of Chicago) and Dr. Jennifer Brier, Jennifer Ash (University of Illinois at Chicago). During the first summer, participating adolescents created public historical works. They engaged intergenerational research by interviewing elders living in their own neighbourhoods, including family members, to elicit first-hand accounts on neighborhood transitions over three to four generations. Working in small teams, they examined particular historical moments in particular neighborhoods to produce a fictional-historical narrative animating the experiences of people of color during those times. &nbsp; &nbsp; As a conclusion to the public history curriculum, I organized a one-day Speculative Design workshop to prototype artefacts for use by fictional characters they developed in historical narratives. This workshop engaged a speculative design process uncharacteristically oriented toward the past. The adolescents engaged in core design competencies: developing empathy (designing for someone else), problem-solving (trying to improve the fictional character’s life), and working within constraints (could not make use of technologies or knowledge that did not exist at the time). Prototypes further activated the narratives as they became props which participants could use to role play aspects of their characters’ lives. <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd9226fe74d6cf4cbee69a0b962d5e4aa17c177e963a62f704bea6da17856e69/IMG_20180713_105114.jpg" data-mid="87830409" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd9226fe74d6cf4cbee69a0b962d5e4aa17c177e963a62f704bea6da17856e69/IMG_20180713_105114.jpg" /> <img width="5760" height="3840" width_o="5760" height_o="3840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d810f60dbc70a4d455622dbeddb6b958610818ff6ba16a68eea089a6d8c39d4/BA1A6622.jpg" data-mid="92869883" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d810f60dbc70a4d455622dbeddb6b958610818ff6ba16a68eea089a6d8c39d4/BA1A6622.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8441268434f6405ad9596a0194d9a0f2eb4ecb761d757a8209fccee1378402be/IMG_20180716_160654.jpg" data-mid="87830410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8441268434f6405ad9596a0194d9a0f2eb4ecb761d757a8209fccee1378402be/IMG_20180716_160654.jpg" /> Y2: FUTURE SPECULATION “MACHINES” (WORKSHOP TOOLS)&nbsp; / 2018Workshop Facilitation in collaboration with Dr. Patrick Jagoda, Ireashia Bennett, Gary Kafer (University of Chicago) and Dr. Jennifer Brier, Jennifer Ash (University of Illinois at Chicago). In the second week of the Year 2 curriculum, adolescents engaged in a 3-day workshop on Speculative Design that drew on methods from multiple sources. The process was facilitated visually: each activity was guided by a series of worksheets, called “Machines,” with visual inputs and outputs. These exercises were mediated by designers, historians, and media scholars teaching the curriculum. &nbsp; &nbsp; For this project, I developed a set of customized set of workshop tools—what I called “Machines”—to facilitate the adolescents in a visual and collaborative design process, undertaken by non-designers.&nbsp; THese included the “Systems Mapping Machine,” the “Scenario Building Machine,” the “Character Building Machine,” and the “Experience Mapping Machine.” <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/909da87f50ae402da593cc28d24b699135a8deb0e7beae5efe9328e373d7e2a9/SSS_Y23.jpg" data-mid="92873750" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/909da87f50ae402da593cc28d24b699135a8deb0e7beae5efe9328e373d7e2a9/SSS_Y23.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0547000583eaf3c121c4dcc1585142afa75c993cbb031aea6a3e72bd2a13c01b/SSS_Y24.jpg" data-mid="92873751" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0547000583eaf3c121c4dcc1585142afa75c993cbb031aea6a3e72bd2a13c01b/SSS_Y24.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54f1de02187a613fd805e36f7e374a783761140fae3ce450508a8be7f06fa546/SSS_Y25.jpg" data-mid="92873752" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/54f1de02187a613fd805e36f7e374a783761140fae3ce450508a8be7f06fa546/SSS_Y25.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/10ae17d1fcbc28244287504ee5f713335d4a154c7e2bce4ec239cf05d7aa9f2d/SSS_Y2.jpg" data-mid="92873748" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/10ae17d1fcbc28244287504ee5f713335d4a154c7e2bce4ec239cf05d7aa9f2d/SSS_Y2.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="1024" width_o="1365" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eff1b32fb4d87b9b62d213d27806932f9b9eb4b2d1f738f500f5887bf3352f6c/SSS_Y22.jpg" data-mid="92873749" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eff1b32fb4d87b9b62d213d27806932f9b9eb4b2d1f738f500f5887bf3352f6c/SSS_Y22.jpg" /> Y2: FUTURE SPECULATIONS WORKSHOP / 2018Workshop Facilitation in collaboration with Dr. Patrick Jagoda, Ireashia Bennett, Gary Kafer (University of Chicago) and Dr. Jennifer Brier, Jennifer Ash (University of Illinois at Chicago).

Their characters and prototypes informed script-writing, and they engaged in workshops on storyboarding, acting, shooting, directing, and editing. These short films were generally conceived as advertisements for their speculative objects as a means to depict the future scenarios. <img width="2880" height="1576" width_o="2880" height_o="1576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a999c6b832dddad0b2dd9a2b5d4679d352dccc143a0c73979bb79cf9aa1dda3/TC_CHP_1.png" data-mid="92962716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a999c6b832dddad0b2dd9a2b5d4679d352dccc143a0c73979bb79cf9aa1dda3/TC_CHP_1.png" /> <img width="2880" height="1576" width_o="2880" height_o="1576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a070654649779c1df4427b2421c6013d0c1e24f6b9acf8b007a34e5b5d2cb0aa/TC_CHP_2.png" data-mid="92962717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a070654649779c1df4427b2421c6013d0c1e24f6b9acf8b007a34e5b5d2cb0aa/TC_CHP_2.png" /> stills from “COMMUNITY HEALING PAIR, CHICAGO 2038” / 2018 Asha Edwards, David Bonsu Community Healing Pair, Chicago, 2038 is a wearable communication system, comprised of a AR glasses and wristband.

The underlying narrative illustrates real life experiences shared by participating adolescents. Police violence creates intergenerational tensions when parents are desperate to keep their children out of harm’s way, but the young people are eager to fight for justice. <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8994047a7f3319964c3e06391ed5d768d7535f2e28d7d035c27837db5cef0184/IMG_20190118_145055.jpg" data-mid="87830537" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8994047a7f3319964c3e06391ed5d768d7535f2e28d7d035c27837db5cef0184/IMG_20190118_145055.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44b3f0c346c1505bf0659fed60a69355279c02b2c22a46704f61dbd98cbe81d7/IMG_20190118_145559.jpg" data-mid="87830542" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44b3f0c346c1505bf0659fed60a69355279c02b2c22a46704f61dbd98cbe81d7/IMG_20190118_145559.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6f119ff87f85520733e042ba4b48dfb69ce189fe6b9368eb13cfb6cbfd335ab/IMG_20190118_145312.jpg" data-mid="87830539" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6f119ff87f85520733e042ba4b48dfb69ce189fe6b9368eb13cfb6cbfd335ab/IMG_20190118_145312.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/327c52128e847d0a49b396bfdb658dcfdcacad4ac5c44bf4b4bbeb5bad100578/IMG_20190118_145400.jpg" data-mid="87830541" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/327c52128e847d0a49b396bfdb658dcfdcacad4ac5c44bf4b4bbeb5bad100578/IMG_20190118_145400.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fa073878221a3047951ca6d69a95ae9e80e69f034eb8e2c894ac2789ab39dfc/IMG_20190118_145322.jpg" data-mid="87830540" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9fa073878221a3047951ca6d69a95ae9e80e69f034eb8e2c894ac2789ab39dfc/IMG_20190118_145322.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4fda8986c1e046a109cd48a12d21e446ca9e2cc650aa8d89e7c4a4055bb8567b/IMG_20190118_145253.jpg" data-mid="87830538" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4fda8986c1e046a109cd48a12d21e446ca9e2cc650aa8d89e7c4a4055bb8567b/IMG_20190118_145253.jpg" /> EXHIBITION DESIGN / 2018–2019Design and implementation in collaboration with Astha Thakar, Jacqueline Buckley (University of Illinois at Chicago) and Ireashia Bennett (University of Chicago).&nbsp; The project’s reulting historical collages, fictional-historical design objects, future speculative artefacts, and short films were publicly presented at multiple venues on Chicago’s South Side in 2019, in the exhibition “South Side Speculations.” This project deliberately conceived of these exhibitions as activatations of public space, producing new sites for discourse on topics that were richly and imaginatively investigated by local adolescents. This included&nbsp; programming of events, workshops, and panel discussions that drew together South Side residents of specific communities—each creating new opportunities to discuss the issues under consideration, including the merits of the resulting future speculations. The participating adolescents thus transformed into public speakers, docents, and topical experts. Beyond a general public audience, these events were attended by and generated participation from local high school students (the adolescents’ peers), parents and family members, and elders who participated in the oral history component. In this way, the exhibitions and their programs generated intergenerational discourse stimulated by the creative, critical work of local adolescents who participated in the summer education program. — The project demonstrates a move toward what has been coined “prefigurative design”: design that “prompts practitioners and researchers to both imagine alternative futures and to structure design processes to manifest them in the present” (Asad 2018). A two-summer, interdisciplinary educational experience for twenty-three adolescents was facilitated in a city that has closed over 200 public schools since 2002 (Lutton, et al 2018). The curriculum blended methods from History, Literary and Media Studies, and Design to facilitate the production of new public historical narratives plus proposals for healthier future neighbourhoods.

Curation &amp; Design: Dr. Stephanie Sadre-Orafai, Matthew Wizinsky, Munazza Aijazproject director: Dr. Jennifer Malat. Supported by Greater Cincinnati Foundation, The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. / U.S. Bank Foundation, and The Murray and Agnes Seasongood Good Government Foundation. Photos: Munazza Aija &amp; Matthew Wizinsky The Cincinnati Project engaged faculty and over 400 students across the University of Cincinnati in research projects examining structural barriers to equity for women of color in Cincinnati.This research was translated into a mobile exhibition that traveled the city to share this work within various local communities. The exhibition included large panels of quoted excerpts, “listening benches” featuring audio excerpts from oral history interviews with local activists, and a series of small books as takeaway publications with deeper coverage of specific topics and projects. The modular design framed these diverse perspectives of the experiences of women of color in Cincinnati within a series of thematic questions: What is Home? What is Community? What is Ours? What is Fair? What is Action?&nbsp; &nbsp; The exhibition was designed to be mobile and modular. From 2018-2019, it traveled to 6 sites across Cincinnati, hosting many programs, such as lecture series, workshops, and panel discussions. Venues included Tangeman Student Center, University of Cincinnati; Reverb Art &amp; Design gallery; the main branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton Co.; Greater Cincinnati YWCA; and Cincinnati’s Historic Findlay Market. <img width="3963" height="2799" width_o="3963" height_o="2799" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/441b5d9e986f88693e29ef640e531bcae98d5356db7f5ea3d9ebf93572b23269/TCP_WhatIs-Books_02.jpg" data-mid="87828225" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/441b5d9e986f88693e29ef640e531bcae98d5356db7f5ea3d9ebf93572b23269/TCP_WhatIs-Books_02.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8291da2c416649bffa54b4e5af6662ec4ae60519a5d45ef27459e23c41c0520d/TCP_WhatIs-Books_04.jpg" data-mid="87828227" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8291da2c416649bffa54b4e5af6662ec4ae60519a5d45ef27459e23c41c0520d/TCP_WhatIs-Books_04.jpg" /> <img width="3862" height="2648" width_o="3862" height_o="2648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e70931a4f45c7941a7f7c9f035b196829092df17fbdf9e9a6e29638640a58898/TCP_WhatIs-Books_01.jpg" data-mid="87828224" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e70931a4f45c7941a7f7c9f035b196829092df17fbdf9e9a6e29638640a58898/TCP_WhatIs-Books_01.jpg" /> <img width="3686" height="3000" width_o="3686" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b6ea3f72bf826599b93cc796dbc16c19c9705340f274b06b2bcd318d127668a/TCP_WhatIs-Books_05.jpg" data-mid="87828228" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b6ea3f72bf826599b93cc796dbc16c19c9705340f274b06b2bcd318d127668a/TCP_WhatIs-Books_05.jpg" /> <img width="3819" height="3000" width_o="3819" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f99fb3c6812edea860fb27c2bf0c45fb0f434abccc5c9787f846c4bec7ee1e54/TCP_WhatIs-Books_03.jpg" data-mid="87828226" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f99fb3c6812edea860fb27c2bf0c45fb0f434abccc5c9787f846c4bec7ee1e54/TCP_WhatIs-Books_03.jpg" /> <img width="3763" height="3000" width_o="3763" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70df5e0d06f4076502f5cd6af1b1c5635fb8b94db367a5d7fb50a1d009d7539e/TCP_WhatIs-Books_06.jpg" data-mid="87828229" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70df5e0d06f4076502f5cd6af1b1c5635fb8b94db367a5d7fb50a1d009d7539e/TCP_WhatIs-Books_06.jpg" /> BOOK SERIES / 2018co-Edited and co-Designed in conjunction with The Cincinnati Project editing &amp; design: Dr. Stephanie Sadre-Orafai, Matthew Wizinsky, Munazza Aijazproduction: “Hot Takes,” student publication group with assistance from Prof. Jordan Tate, University of Cincinnati A series of “mini” books accompanied the mobile exhibition.
