We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

We believe that live performance is at an impasse, that in a changing world burdened by exclusionary systems and emboldened by new technology, a seismic change can take place. Live performance and art has been stymied in inequitable practices both to audience and artist, limiting access and storytelling.

Crux believes this can change, that Black storytelling, Black imagination can redefine the possibilities of performance and narrative, embracing XR.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

The show can be performed for as little as one person up to an unlimited amount.

Founded in 2017, Crux is the first platform focused solely on amplifying narrative virtual reality content from Black creators.
