CONCEPT: What will the future of Jersey look like as a community in the metaverse?

3 Words: Peaceful, united, diverse

A sentence: This will be a place where people feel welcome to express their individuality and embrace the communities they belong to.

A Paragraph: As a group we made the decision to incorporate the two communities of religion and LGBTQ+ into our project, aiming to capture what the future metaverse will look like. This Metaverse has been described a potential utopia, where all people can exist in harmony together. With this information we have decided to bring to light certain issues that occur within the crossover of these communities, which would need to be resolved in order for this potential utopia to even exist. The issue we are going to touch on with this project is the homophobia and hate, within certain religions such as Christianity, towards the LGBTQ+ community and how often people are made to chose between the two. From this we are aiming to create a film and pieces of photography that reflect the struggle that people who belong to these communities endure, and how we are able to create a space that they can both exist peacefully if people learn to be more accepting.

CONTENT: How will you make your film?

Our film will be composed of video recordings that display scenes relating to religion, such as churches, and scenes of protest against the LGBTQ+ community, as well as representatives of LGBTQ+ people. This will be put together in the format of montages accompanied by a dramatic musical score in the background.
