Virtual Meet-up: Place-Based Interventions: Rethinking How We Experience Arts | Cultural Technologies Lab (NorthAmerica timezones)
Place-Based Interventions: Rethinking How We Experience Arts explores how cultural spaces and artistic practices transform when rooted in specific contexts. From public thresholds to local landmarks, we’ll consider how site-responsive interventions reshape community engagement, expand cultural access, and invite new ways of experiencing art beyond traditional venues.
Facilitator: Luisa Ji
Luisa Ji is a creative strategist and cultural technologist working at the intersection of public imagination, digital transformation, and systems of care. With over a decade of global experience, she leads participatory programs that use storytelling, worldbuilding, and culturally-specific technological adaptations to help institutions navigate cultural and ecological volatility.
