Curriculums
that talk back.

Our 360° pieces aren’t built to be watched — they’re built to be stepped into, sat with, and added to. In a fifth-grade classroom. In a college seminar. In a civic dialogue at a community center. On a phone on the bus home. The knowledge keeps growing because the next student, the next visitor, the next voice keeps carrying it forward.

Four ways in

It isn't a film screening.
It's a circle.

Every piece runs on whatever surface is already in the room. The curriculum is what makes it education. The civic loop is what makes it civic — the work carries the question forward into the next classroom, the next dome, the next dialogue.

Build your own 360° space

For students, communities, educators, and youth groups. We teach the practice of capturing a place, gathering voices, and shaping a 360° piece — phone-as-rig to first edit. Group projects become living works the cohort owns.

04 · CIVIC LOOP

The knowledge keeps growing

For our 20th-anniversary TOFV piece, anyone walking through the work — in a planetarium, a science museum, on a phone — can add their own question, voice, or testimony. We hold it. We carry it forward into the next showing.

What question do you carry
for the world?

In 2006, 112 thinkers from 48 countries sat at one table in Berlin to answer humanity’s most pressing questions — on democracy, art, faith, conflict, and the future. Twenty years later, we’re holding a new circle. As the piece is shown in classrooms, museums, planetariums, and on phones, every visitor adds the question they carry. We hold it. We carry it forward. Our civic engagement platform for this work is Our Voices Unbound.

"What question do you carry — for the world?"

FOR · CLASSROOMS

Voice the question

Each student adds the question they bring. The class sees what other students — across the country, across the world — are also carrying.

FOR · MUSEUMS & PLANETARIUMS

Host the circle

The piece runs as a fulldome show, a gallery installation, or an immersive multi-wall room. Visitors leave their voice. Each showing keeps growing.

From your phone or kitchen. Speak, type, or sign — in any language. Held with consent and citation.

How it works · with you

We bring content,
curriculum, and
practice.

We bring content. We bring curriculum. We bring practice. If your school, library, or community center wants a piece in a dome, we’ll help you find a planetarium nearby that’s already hosting, or point you to companies that rent inflatable dome equipment. Most of the time, though, the same piece runs beautifully on what’s already in the room — a projector and a wall, an immersive multi-wall room, the screens already on your desks. Accessibility is the point.

START · A PILOT

One classroom, one piece

Pick a piece from the library. We provide the curriculum, the discussion guide, and a half-hour facilitator brief. Students engage in their browser. No equipment beyond what's in the room.

GROW · A RESIDENCY

A semester · a cohort

Multi-piece arc — a semester or term across grade levels. Includes a workshop on building 360° spaces. Co-led with Civic Designers; sliding scale available.

HOST · A SCREENING

A community evening · a dome event

Bring the piece to your community center, library, or local planetarium. We help match the venue, provide the file, and share a facilitation guide so the cohort can lead the conversation themselves.
