On June 5th, the Harrison Center unveiled our newest venture, the Polklore Micro-Museum.
Polklore is a partnership with COhatch Polk Stables in what was the old horse stables for the Polk Dairy. The purpose of Polklore is to preserve neighborhood history. For this project, neighbors chose the stories and artifacts to be preserved, and artists wove those artifacts together into an extensive art assemblage installation. Each artifact in the installation can be scanned with a cell phone to access a video of the neighbor telling their own story, using augmented reality technology.
