I____LOCAL - School of Art + Art History
2010
The heart of I____LOCAL rests on identifying qualities that encourage and strengthen a community — individuals working together exchanging stories, unique perspectives, and valuable experiences with one-another in a single locality. The diversity and variety of individual histories and knowledges has the power to connect citizens to each-other and empowers the individual as well as enrich the community.
Our mission is to foster a community that embraces shared exchanges and citizens’ diverse backgrounds. Through interactive photo booth and user-generated advice, I____LOCAL provides opportunity for people to contribute distinct experience and create a community from the ground-up. The collection becomes a range of local tips supplied by a diverse collection of local people.
I____LOCAL was created in the Fall 2010 by a diverse group of graduate students in the Graphic Design MFA program in the School of art + art history at UF.
