Capturing Anacostia Map
Using ArcGIS and Adobe Illustrator, I designed this map to help provide geographical context to the photos in the exhibit. This map has also been incorporated into Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum's outdoor exhibit.
Interactive Component
I developed an educational component for the exhibit, with the goal of making the exhibit interactive and meaningful to the community during outreach events. Participants were provided with prompts to respond to, and had the option to add their piece directly to the exhibit. Select pieces were formally added to the exhibit as a long-term contribution.
