2. Demolished: The End Of Chicago Public Housing
In this interactive photo/story/essay produced by NPR, we hear the story of urban photographer Patricia Evans. Back in the 1980s, after she was beaten and sexually assaulted near a Chicago public housing project, she chose not to run from her fears. Rather, she became a photographer of life in Public Housing.
This is a powerful example of using placed based story sharing in an interactive platform to give voice, power, and representation to voices and communities whom are often not heard.

Michael Simons and Paul Shoebridge, formerly of Adbusters, recreated a town that doesn’t exist anymore. Part book, part film, part family photo album of a place that’s been lost in time, the National Film Board of Canada’s Welcome to Pine Point website explores the memories of residents from the former mining community of Pine Point, Northwest Territories. Overall, it’s an interactive media exploration of how we remember the past.
