Project Highlight
Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory
This video features footage of an interactive photo series prototype installation called Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory, created by multi-hyphenate artist & photographer, Pri the Honeydark. Pass the Crown is an editorial photo series honoring BIPOC individuals living with dementia. The series was inspired by Pri's late grandmother who passed away from dementia. A few weeks prior to her passing, Pri photographed her wearing a gold crown. That very crown is now being passed from model to model within this dementia photo series, as a symbol of honor and perseverance. For the new prototype of this series, Pri has added donated family photos and momentos to the portraits and activated those momentos using interactive AR technology. Viewers are able to scan the images with their mobile devices and watch the stories of each featured dementia model come to life via animations, and audio elements! The photo series was installed at Culture Lab LIC, NY in June 2025 in honor of Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Pri's goal was to see how viewers would respond to this prototype, as well as test a creative theory of using AR & machine learning ethically to tell stories of the marginalized combined with photography. Pass the Crown is on exhibit until July 27th, 2025.
