Youtube: Stories from Caribe Sur: Chapter 2

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The South Caribe Roots Archive is a participatory community project that aims to document the history and identity of the people of the south Caribbean of Costa Rica. These videos are part of "Stories from Caribe Sur: Chapter 2", a collaborative media project produced by students from The Media School at Indiana University during an Alternative Service Break in March 2018.

FINAL WORK PRODUCT

Media School Students conducted 15 interviews with 33 different local participants over 3 days. They were asked to select short clips from each of their interviews and pair it with visual material they gathered throughout the week. Their completed projects are a combination of short videos, photo slideshows, and photo clips that collectively comprise Chapter 2 of "Stories from Caribe Sur", an ongoing participatory oral history project that activates local citizens to be the creators of their own public archival content.
