Multimedia Exhibit

‘Paved With Good Intentions: People, Nature,
and the Land Along I-10’

This exhibit will tell the story of how people have used and changed the land.

‘Paved With Good Intentions’ will combine oral, visual, and written records with GIS technology to inquire into audience perceptions concerning the effect of freeways and development on our relations with each other and our stewardship of the land.

‘Living on the Dime: A View of the World From Along I-10’

An oral, pictorial, and documentary history element that will develop the stories and themes in section 2 of this proposal.

Although many interviews will be conducted by IMH staff and consultants, a basic part of the oral history project will be to train individuals in each target community to interview members of their own community.

’Story Share Days’ include interviewing, gathering photos and documents, and a possible storytelling series at select sites.

Some interviews will be collected at Story Share Days, which will be held at several partner sites during the initial research period.

‘In Front of History’ will involve activists, artists, and community elders from representative local ethnic groups as storytellers and panelists for a conversation with the audience that will accompany a documentary film or multimedia presentation.

As much as possible the panels or guest speakers will include people who actually participated in the events or stories depicted.

‘KidSpeak’ is a chance for children to express their thoughts on program topics and presentations through writing, art, or other creative media. Kidspeak displays will be part of some LOTD exhibits.

Stage Production*‘10 Tales’

The Performance Loft, a community theater group in Redlands will develop a stage play drawn from personal stories as told by project participants.

The production will be staged free for local schools, community/performing arts organizations, and the general public.
