First Literature Project proposes to support Native nations in their efforts to maintain and further their languages, narratives, and oral traditions. Employing a new immersive storytelling platform, 3D video is mixed with virtual reality to re-create the timeless experience of sitting face-to-face with a storyteller.
First Literature Project utilizes the newly released Apple Vision Pro headset to present the immersive experience Padawe, developed over a two-year period by Guild Hall Community Artists-in-Residence Wunetu Wequai Tarrant and Christian Scheider. The exhibition also features video works by the Shinnecock language revitalization collective Ayim Kutoowonk and interviews with members of the Shinnecock Nation.
Timed entry is required to experience First Literature Project’s virtual-reality work. Admission is free. Patrons who wear glasses or corrective lenses are strongly encouraged to wear contact lenses.
Organized by Anthony Madonna, Guild Hall Patti Kenner Director of Learning + New Works.
