News!

River Alive! has received the Excellence in Exhibition Award for Special Achievement – Interactivity in the American Alliance of Museums' 32nd annual Excellence in Exhibition Competition (2020).

Challenge:

Re-envision an established maritime history museum as a center of education, activism, and outreach about regional water issues

Solution:

Plan and design an exhibition about the Delaware River watershed that builds empathy and connection between people and this watery world on which millions rely. Together with project lead and creative director Habithèque Inc. and content developer Handymakes, we imagined and designed an immersive blend of hands-on challenges, interactive media, live exhibits, theater, citizen science, and programming spaces. These experiences make RiverAlive! a place of collaboration and conversation about the importance of the watershed, the science we use to understand and protect it, and the power we all have to help it thrive.
Scope:
Master planning, content research, exhibition design, bid package development, shop drawing review, project management, label writing & graphic art direction, multimedia scriptwriting & user interface design, digital asset research & acquisition, architectural & infrastructure renovation planning, construction documentation
