360˚ Video for Sustainability

PhD student Reese Muntean and the Making Culture Lab worked with the UN’s One Planet Network on the production of a series of 360° videos and the design of their installation at the UN Headquarters in NYC as part of the Camp One Planet exhibit at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development July 9-18, 2018.
