Several months ago, as part of the exhibition Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes, we asked you to tell us a story about your suburb and put it on Youtube for the world to see. We received over 30 submissions, which is extraordinary. We’ve whittled the list down to the best submissions, which will be shown in the “family room” in the exhibition at the Walker and featured on the Worlds Away exhibition wiki (more details on that here). Next week, I’ll be blogging about the interesting way we’re putting the videos in the gallery on the New Media blog. Congratulations are in order to the selected participants, and a huge thanks to all those who submitted their work. Here is a player with all the selected submissions and a list of them following:
