Augmented Fotonovelas

Augmented Fotonovelas are a multi-modal new media object centering the knowledge of the Latina/o community in ways accessible and meaningful to multiple audiences by incorporating video interviews, photographs, interactive mapping, smart phone technology, and Augmented Reality (AR) to produce Augmented Scholarship. Augmented Fotonovelas are visual counter-stories highlighting the role of race along with other forms of subordination, focusing on lived experiences, and engaging Communities of Color as co-collaborators in a creative research process. They are pedagogical and social justice tools with the power to raise public consciousness, elicit community action, and social change.
