#NoKidsInPrison AR Banner

The 160 foot tall #NoKidsInPrison AR Banner, located on the City Hall building in Richmond, Virginia, is viewable for miles. The installation features powerful portraits of two local youth justice activists and an interactive AR experience that illustrates the hopes and dreams of these changemakers through collective poetry, animation, and artwork that comes to life right off the building. Their message is literally written in the sky above and imagines a world where all youth are free.
