The Centre for Creative Technologies at University of Galway, in collaboration with the Galway Simon Community, is excited to launch Lost & Found on Wednesday November 22nd at 7pm, as part of the Arts in Action programme.

Lost & Found is a co-created, virtual reality film produced in collaboration with clients from the Galway Simon Community. This 360 degree film captures and conveys the experience of homelessness from the perspective of those who have lived it. Co-created by clients of Galway Simon, leading virtual reality filmmakers, and researchers from the University of Galway as part of the Immersive Empathy project, the film was developed through a process of oral history interviews and collaborative workshops and shot over two days in Galway.

You are invited to join us at 7pm on November 22nd in the O’Donoghue Theatre for a discussion with the film’s creators, followed by the opportunity to watch the film on a VR headset.
