More about the VR experience:
"Spatial Storytelling was commissioned by Fulton County Arts & Culture, Public Art Division to translate the visual and poetic elements of Shanequa’s powerful exhibition Psalms for Black Girls into a 360° immersive experience. Led by the artist herself, recorded at the Emma Darnell Aviation Museum, the piece preserves the intimacy, symbolism, and emotional resonance of the original installation while extending its reach beyond the gallery walls and into classrooms, libraries, and community spaces through the Public Art Futures Lab's VR/STEAM outreach.
