The Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College is pleased to present our first ever augmented reality (AR) project. The work “Fight for Liberation” is by Santa Barbara based artist Adrianna Arriaga (Adrianna La Artista) and coincides with this year’s June pride celebration. Featuring portraits of two important historical activists Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the installation celebrates their legacies in fighting for LGBTQA + rights. Sylvia and Marsha were two transgender activists that organized and fought for LGBTQA+ rights in New York and can be considered pioneers of the LGBTQA+ movement we know today. This AR project consists of large portraits of Sylvia and Marsha that can be experienced on the Santa Barbara City College Campus by accessing a link to the project. By using AR, "Fight for Liberation" helps create a shared experience and continues to remind the community to fight for LGBTQA+ liberation.
The project’s home base is situated at the school’s Maxwell Winslow Overlook adjacent to the Humanities Building’s East Campus location and can be viewed 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week for the entire month of June.
