Caminemos Juntos
Caminemos Juntos is a collaborative storytelling project with Jovenes Inc, a center in Boyle Heights for youth experiencing homlessness.
In a series of writing workshops, youth wrote about their lives, struggles, and perspectives. Kevin, Marlon, and Lorenzo, wrote The Road I Walk and presented it in a community event called Caminemos Juntos. The interactive gallery exhibited their song along with images, lyrics, and video of each of the songwriters triggered by an Arduino foot sensor. The song and media were produced over eight weeks. Process photos, lyrics, notes and drawings came together as videos projected at the show.
