participatory design of technology expressing neighborhoods’ cutures and identities

Remapping LA is a project that aims to facilitate fluid and inclusive expressions of Los Angeles as communities explore their environments, culture and identities and retell their histories with technology built in a process they shape—perhaps seeding a new “collective memory”.  The process uses mobile devices to help communities in discovering, mapping and documenting the city and adding to this “collective memory.” Mapping of the histories, and cultural identities by communities is a way of community asset-mapping.

Engaged Media Workshop is a course associated with this RemappingLA.
