Collection Title:Hard Choices and Hybrid Wayfinding Launch at Art All Night
Description:In partnership with the DC Office of Planning, the Hard Choices activity was launched in Fall 2021. The project sought to gather resident stories and feedback on the Penn Ave East neighborhood. The Playful City Lab team, led by Ben Stokes, used the Humanities Truck to host the game, building on the stories gathered at the Ice Cream Listening Tour. Also, the team installed five signs along the Penn Ave East Corridor – each with a cultural frame and a site-specific QR code to specific elements in the website, which in turn directed viewers back to the physical locations and told the neighborhood story across sites. For instance, there was a hybrid wayfinding sign located near the Penn Branch Shopping Center which Art All Night attendees could scan and learn more about the neighborhood and amplify on their social media. Collection contains photos and video from event on October 5, 2021.
