Unsettling Grounds: an Augmented Reality Exhibition

Unsettling Grounds is a pilot platform showcasing experimental and monumental works by Black, Brown, Indigenous & rural artists. An augmented reality exhibition located in the Charlottesville Woolen Mills, Unsettling Grounds is an interactive storytelling tool. Using this app audiences will uncover hidden histories of lesser-known struggles for freedom. Monuments are missing; voices are silenced. Unsettling Grounds makes visible and audible the hidden past.

The project makes possible place-based artworks in the Charlottesville area through support from The National Endowment for the Arts, Albemarle County, Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, Virginia Humanities, The Memory Project at the University of Virginia Democracy Initiative.
