Educating

In a guest lecture at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Brady Schwind from The Arts of Imagination Foundation used original concept art from The Wiz to explore cultural storytelling. Students were encouraged to reinterpret the story through their own cultural lenses. Preparations are underway for a virtual reality experience at UNC's "Charl-Oz" Festival in autumn 2024, where attendees can explore and enrich 3D renditions of the original artwork.
