Vibrations: Five Years After Pulse
A Mixed Media Experience
On June 12, 2016, 49 beautiful souls were taken from us and the reverberations of those we lost along with the survivors, first responders and all impacted echoed around the world. For the fifth remembrance of the Pulse nightclub tragedy, we’re asking you to reflect on how the tragedy has impacted your life and brought you to where you are today. We’re asking for genuine reflections of the significance of this event and how the (almost) five-year journey has affected you, your lifestyle, your thoughts, and your feelings. Give us the good, the bad, the everything. Give us the real.
Vibrations: A Mixed Media Experience will welcome a wide variety of artistic expression—creative fiction and nonfiction, poetry, photography, art, music, and performance. The final compilation will be shared in two formats: a printed publication with written pieces, photography, and art as well as a mixed-media web experience with music, performance, and other pieces not included in the printed publication.
Newhouse Creative Group and Orange Blossom Publishing are thrilled to be collaborating on the first edition of Vibrations: A Mixed Media Experience with the onePULSE Foundation, the official foundation incorporated to manage the design and construction of the permanent national memorial and museum dedicated to the Pulse tragedy. All of the profits from this project will go directly to the foundation and will be available through the Pulse memorial kiosk and online store. As this is a charity project, individuals whose works are selected will not be compensated for their work.
