Diablo Rojo
2024
Sculpture series centered around the themes of collective memory and colonialism in Panama, meticulously crafted from found scrap metal. Each piece serves as a profound exploration into the intersection of history and culture, inviting reflection and dialogue.
Where There is Light
2022
Through WHERE THERE IS LIGHT we created a space where we can surrender to calmness and focus on our senses as a way to be present in the moment without the grief of what was and the fear of what could have been.
Visitors can explore the rainforest Lidar data visualization at their own pace and interact with the space through movement and breath with the forest reacting to their movements and breathing. The visuals are paired with a sound installation of sound recording in the rainforest in Panama over a 24hr cycle. The visuals and sounds constantly evolve from day to night, providing visitors a different experience depending on the time of day of their visit.
Un(re)solved
2021
In the UN(RE)SOLVED installation, explore a living quilt and use augmented reality to bring to life the stories woven throughout.
Un(re)solved tells the stories of civil rights era cold cases and families still searching for justice. Tamara Shogaolu collaborated with Frontline PBS on this multi-platform investigation consisting of a documentary, podcast, interactive web experience, and augmented reality installation. Tamara Shogaolu led the creative vision on the installation and web experience.
