incubates collective creation as alternatives to singular authorship. For our studio, co-creation can happen within communities, across disciplines and with non-human systems such as Artificial Intelligence. Our book on the subject, called <em>Collective Wisdom: Co-Creating Media for Equity and Justice</em> will be published in Fall 2022 with MIT Press. The studio is part of the MIT Open Documentary Lab, which brings storytellers, technologists, and scholars together to explore new documentary forms with a particular focus on collaborative and immersive storytelling.</p><p>As centers for documentary research, the lab and studio offer courses, workshops, a fellows program, public lectures, and conferences; we incubate experimental projects; and we develop resources and critical discourse. Projects incubated at our lab have premiered at Sundance, Venice, Tribeca festivals and have won Emmy, Webby along with many other global awards. In the spirit of MIT’s open courseware and open source software movements, the Open Documentary Lab is inclusive, collaborative and committed to sharing knowledge, networks, and tools.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column centered-text no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone " data-padding-pos="all" data-has-bg-color="false" data-bg-color="" data-bg-opacity="1" data-animation="" data-delay="0"><div class="vc_column-inner" ><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="img-with-aniamtion-wrap center custom-width-200px" data-max-width="custom" data-max-width-mobile="default" data-shadow="none" data-animation="fade-in" ><div class="inner"><div class="hover-wrap"><div class="hover-wrap-inner"> <a href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262543774/" target="_blank" class="center"> <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="img-with-animation skip-lazy " data-delay="0" height="800" width="521" data-animation="fade-in" src="https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/book-mockup.png" alt="" srcset="https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/book-mockup.png 521w, https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/book-mockup-195x300.png 195w" sizes="(min-width: 1450px) 75vw, (min-width: 1000px) 85vw, 100vw" /> </a></div></div></div></div><a class="nectar-button jumbo see-through-2 " style="border-color: #ffffff; color: #ffffff;" target="_blank" href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262543774/" data-color-override="#ffffff" data-hover-color-override="#ad0d0d" data-hover-text-color-override="#ffffff"><span>Order Book</span></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="toggles " data-starting="default" data-style="minimal_small"><div class="toggle default" data-inner-wrap="true"><h3><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle"></i>What is Co-Creation?</a></h3><div><div class="inner-toggle-wrap"><div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1638555525483" ><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="page" title="Page 14"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p>Co-Creation offers alternatives to a single authored vision.

Born in Mumbai, India, she was raised in Singapore and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Hon.) in History and Journalism from the University of Oregon. During her undergraduate years, she co-founded and co-directed Majesty Digital, an initiative to bring women of color both behind and in front of the camera. Her thesis examined the role of Instagram’s features in crafting space for South Asian micro-influencers of the diaspora utilizing the hashtag #unfairandlovely to create and challenge their own hyphenated identities. She realizes that was a long sentence and thanks you for sticking around. At MIT, she is keen to expand upon virtual space-creation and the tools it can provide for impending and ongoing global issues within health, education and activism. While she has produced films internationally, from Sri Lanka and Vietnam to Washington state and England, the guiding inquiry at the center of this work has remained focused on counter-perceptions of place, identity and home. She joins class of ’22 after working as a producer at Blue Chalk Media in Portland, Oregon, Telescope Studios, Singapore and on projects for Oregon Public Broadcasting.<div class="bottom_meta"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone " data-padding-pos="all" data-has-bg-color="false" data-bg-color="" data-bg-opacity="1" data-animation="" data-delay="0"><div class="vc_column-inner" ><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="team-member" data-style="bio_fullscreen_alt"><div class="team-member-image"><div class="team-member-image-inner"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WilliamUricchio-1-scaled-e1641250288690-1024x1024.jpg" width="500" height="500" alt="William Uricchio" /></div></div><div class="team-member-overlay"></div><div class="team-meta"><h5></h5><h3>William Uricchio</h3><p></p><div class="nectar-cta" data-color="default" data-using-bg="false" data-style="arrow-animation" data-display="block" data-alignment="left"><span class="link_wrap"><a class="link_text" href="#"><svg class="next-arrow" width="20px" height="25px" viewBox="0 0 50 80" xml:space="preserve"> <polyline stroke="#000000" stroke-width="9" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" points="0, 0 45, 40 0, 80"></polyline> </svg><span class="line" style="background-color: #000;"></span> </a></span></div></div><div class="nectar_team_bio_img" data-img-src="https://cocreationstudio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WilliamUricchio-1-scaled-e1641250288690.jpg"></div><div class="nectar_team_bio">William Uricchio is the PI and Co-Founder of the Co-Creation Studio, PI and founder of MIT Open Documentary Lab.

Her most recent projects, Freedman Town 2.0 and Voices of the Hill, center around documenting historically black communities using co-creation and new media technologies. She uses documentary production and training as a way to preserve, celebrate, honor and document the histories and stories in these communities. Her work has been featured in film festivals, conferences, and community events across the country. While at ODL, she is producing an immersive geo-locative media project titled, “Mapping Blackness”. This digital mapping platform chronicles historically black communities that are often left off of maps utilizing geotagging, Augmented Reality, 360 video, data visualization and traditional documentary storytelling. “Mapping Blackness” is a continuation of previous projects and aims to put more black communities on the map using ArcGIS technologies and co-creation methodologies between
