Hello ITPers,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m on the board of the nonprofit the Human Impacts Institute, and we\u2019re working together with some amazing organizations and people on a project showcasing the stories of 10 powerful women who are addressing climate change in different ways in NYC. The women range from a NASA scientist to a South Bronx activist to a teenager who lost her home \u00a0to Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n
This project already has an outdoor art installation and an event associated with it. Because we hope this work will inspire a wide audience to tell their own stories and take action around climate change, we believe it\u2019s terribly important for it to also have a shareable digital presence \u2013 and that\u2019s where we\u2019re hoping you\u2019ll want to come in.<\/p>\n
In short: The foundation for all of this is podcasts that we\u2019re creating (in collaboration with StoryCorps and Winters Past) from conversations with the women. Together with a designer from Parsons, we\u2019re designing an outdoor multimedia exhibit to share these stories in order to help people “step into the footprints” of these women, taking action on climate change.<\/p>\n
The launch event,\u00a0June 17\u00a0\u2013 held in in partnership with the German consulate and German mission to the UN (and possibly other other EU partners) for EU Climate Day \u2013 will be a party featuring musicians, spoken word and other artists, who are collaborating together to tell the women\u2019s stories through song and other mediums.<\/p>\n
Now we’re looking for someone(s) with great coding and design chops who is interested in building a shareable, interactive online presence for the project.\u00a0Unfortunately, we don\u2019t have a budget for this (I\u2019m volunteering my time as well.) That said, this could be a great way to make new contacts, especially considering the powerful partners we\u2019ve enrolled. I work fulltime at Human Rights Watch on their digital team, and am happy to barter, in case there\u2019s anything I can help you with.<\/p>\n
The deadline to have the digital presence complete is\u00a0June 1. Let me know if you\u2019re interested in collaborating with us on this project, and we can go from there. You can reach me at\u00a0amybrauns@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks,<\/p>\n Amy Braunschweiger<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello ITPers, I\u2019m on the board of the nonprofit the Human Impacts Institute, and we\u2019re working together with some amazing organizations and people on…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-job","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/opportunities\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
