We Live Here
NarrativeRockey lives in a tent in a park. We meet her on the day police and sanitation workers come to clear the park of the homeless people seeking shelter there. Rockey flees, unable to salvage her personal belongings.
Through interactivity, explore Rockey’s personal objects, objects that hold Rockey’s memories and illustrate her past. Pick up her journal to reveal an animated poem, the story of the first homeless man Rockey saw when she was ten. Find a small wooden box filled with Rockey’s photos. Wind up a music box to hear Rockey’s dream of having a home again. Pick up a small cut out of a motorcycle and open up a psychedelic animation telling the story of the day Rockey got married on the back of a motorcycle on her way to Sturges. Finally, a novel from Rockey’s childhood opens to reveal an animation of Rockey’s last desire - to be a cowboy.

Very interactive
This was so well done. While its a sad topic, you really feel like you are in a homeless persons shoes! You will feel a connection to Rockey by the end. Sad but eye opening.
People should not look at this for the production value. And this is not a nonfiction biographical documentary. Yeah, it's obviously staged. I get that. It's more of a play. Nonetheless, it is a very emotional and thought-provoking piece, as intended. And what I got out of it was thinking that there are many people out there who have it much worse. There are drugs, sex crimes, and many acts of violence in the world of the homeless. And every one of those people has a story to tell, if you will listen.
