Voices to Inception: Connecting People, Place, and Design

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Becky Beamer & Jori Erdman

In this presentation we will be sharing our experimental documentary short film, “Voices to Inception.” The film tells the story of a people-first, collaborative process towards making a center for racial justice and equity in Mississippi from the perspective of many stakeholders including an architecture firm, a church, and a college. Our film project explores the relationship of clients, users, and architects, revealing the complexities and possibilities of collaborative processes at the intersection of architectural practice and the people and places we serve. As we came together from our distinct disciplines (architecture, film making, ethnographic studies), we also engaged in a collaboration employing tactics of witness and fly-on-the-wall observations. As we engaged in this process, we learned about the nature of collaboration in the creative process.
