Event Description

This workshop spotlights the Sari-Sari Xchange Assetory, a storytelling-led virtual asset library prototype created with and for the Asian diaspora. Participants will be asked to bring an object with a personal meaning, which they will learn how to scan and create a 3D reproduction of. They will also be able to share what memories, stories, and histories the object holds and contribute to the SSX Assetory if they wish.

Workshop Accessibility

The workshop activities are accessible to people using wheelchairs as the object plinths will be at various heights. The workshop will use the Polycam app on smartphones (iPhones, Androids) for scanning purposes. Participants are free to use their own devices, and there will be a couple of iPhones and iPads available for people to use if needed. If the participants have their device set up for low vision accessibility, they could use it to operate the app. Team members will facilitate engagement and guide patrons as needed.
