The speakers will address how they use virtual reality and immersive storytelling as tools for co-creation\, healing and social change. \nIntroduction by \nDr. Leonie Bradbury is the Henry and Lois Foster Chair of Contemporary Art Theory and Practice and Curator-in-Residence at Emerson College in Boston\, USA. She directs Emerson’s platform for visual art “Emerson Contemporary” focused on presenting and commissioning new media art\, performance art\, and emergent technologies within a socio-political context. In 2020\, she was a collaborator on the AREA Code Art Fair and curated and organized a drive-in movie theater experience featuring light projections and digital video art. Previously\, she served as the Director of Art and Creative Initiatives at HUBweek\, an innovation festival showcasing intersections of art\, science\, and technology. \nA respected authority on both the creative and scholarly aspects of contemporary art\, Dr. Bradbury has more than 20 years of experience in public programming\, developing new work\, creating compelling and innovative exhibitions\, and promoting artists as thought leaders. Her dissertation Artwork as Network: A Reconceptualization of the Work of Art and its Exhibition questions how contemporary works of art relate to network culture and\, alternately\, how do networks redefine our understanding of specific works of art. At Emerson College\, she teaches a professional practice seminar Curating Contemporary Art as well as a course on The Moving Image in Contemporary Art. \nPresentations by \nRashin Fahandej is an award winning artist\, independent filmmaker and assistant professor of emerging and interactive media at Emerson College.  Her projects center on marginalized voices and the role of media\, technology\, and public collaboration in generating social change. A\nproponent of “Art as Ecosystem\,” she defines her projects as “Poetic Cyber Movement for Social Justice\,” where art mobilizes a plethora of voices by creating connections between public places and virtual spaces. Fahandej is the founder of “A Father’s Lullaby\, “ a multi-year community co-creative initiative that highlights the role of men in raising children and their absence due to racial disparities in the criminal justice system.  Fahandej is the recipient of the 2021 Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction in Digital Music & Sound Art and 2019 Foster Prize at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston.
