An augmented reality garden and sacred space for anyone who wants to hear and share messages of hope and positivity for Breonna Taylor's family or share a message in remembrance of someone they lost. "She who plants a garden, plants hope.
This experience, located outside the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and Frost Science Museum, will be open throughout the entirety of the festival to visit and interact with.
The outdoor garden commences with an inviting arch brimming with Breonna's favorite colors and a QR-code for participants to scan and enter the augmented reality experience.
The virtual garden will begin to grow around the participant, with a beautiful monument for Breonna, a hologram of Ju'Niyah Palmer, Breonna's sister, and an opportunity to record your own message to a lost loved one.
