The workshop will cover the use of Augmented Reality technology, focusing on sound and geo-tracking mediums to enhance oral storytelling as an interactive tool. 

The AR workshop will use the online app Echoes, a friendly user software, to produce audio walks in a site-specific context. The workshop will cover research-creation methodologies and approaches to the theoretical, ethical, and technical procedures existing in her work in progress: Walk: Walking With, an aural essay about collective feminism, developed for augmented reality (AR), featuring interviews with feminist activists and artists advocating for women’s rights in the public space. The project emphasizes the diverse tactics of socially engaged practices that embrace collage as a resistance tool. The augmented audio walk will create a sonic palimpsest with interview voices and soundtracks produced by the Argentinian feminist sound collective #Vivas, Viv Corringham (Shadow Walks), and members' experience of the collectives: Colleague Feminicides Paris and Montreal chapters.
