Meet our Arts in Advocacy residents and explore how Democracy is a Creative Practice. Place Yourself in History is an immersive, improvisation experience using digital media for discovery.
With greenscreen and a few creative ideas you can be placed back in time. In this workshop we will use ‘We Are The World’ (1985 video/music) and 911 (2001) images to explore how communities experience and respond to disruption one person at a time, until it becomes people together.

Workshop funded by Ulbrich Foundation.
Open to people of all ages. With technology we can collectively and creatively reflect on how history shapes our understanding of ourselves, our neighbors, and our democracy. This project begins Presidents’ Day 2025 and culminated July 4,2026
The reasons may vary, but the stories will be told if you decide to tell them. We are here to help. WPAA-TV Team
Every one can take ownership of history for personal connection, resistance, or as part of the creative practice within a community. With today’s technology, you can take a photo or video and put yourself into images from your perspective: journalists, fan, ally, representative of resistance or government. Your point-of-view belongs to you. We merely help you explore new ways to connect with history.
Let’s erase ‘fake’ and replace it with ‘reflection’. If you have a video, we may not be ready to insert you on Presidents’ day. We will work with you to determine how it can be done. We have time. The nation’s 250th birthday is next July.
Hope to see you there!
