Client Exploratorium, for Kiewit Luminarium
Designed by The Exploratorium in partnership with Heritage Services and HDR, the center is a primary attraction on Omaha’s riverfront. The Grid is an iconic feature within the space— a two story, permanent structure that explores the creative problem solving required to take care of our everyday physical environment, from mending clothes to filling potholes. The Exploratorium collaborated with 11 Omaha community members to create this interactive, tactile, and visual experience.
To bring these collaborator’s voices into the exhibit and take visitors out into their worlds, The Exploratorium commissioned a series of short documentary vignettes to play in each section of the grid. The Exploratorium brought Tessa Wedberg on as a consultant in early 2022 to shape the creative approach to the films.
They partnered with ephemera to take the project from filming to final delivery and installation.
