Choose Your Own Resistance
CHOOSE YOUR OWN RESISTANCE is an immersive, multi-perspective experience about the choice to challenge racism.
This project comes out of Dr. Eschmann’s research investigating the connection between racism, resistance, and mental health, and is both art and intervention. It was shot in 360 degrees and created in collaboration with filmmaker Barry Pousman and artist Melissa Teng.
The CHOOSE YOUR OWN RESISTANCE intervention is currently being tested. Stay tuned for updates about the release, and see some behind the scenes shots below!
