During Metro's Rideshare Week, our friend Dr. Wendy Hsu will lead a semi-nomadic series of participatory karaoke events through the streets and at transit hubs such as metro stations, bus stops, sidewalk, parklets and plazas, including a cyclist-centered event supported by a ride led by Flying Pigeon. Through song performances and interviews, ride-sharers and commuters will share journey stories and provoke ideas and visions for co-mobility in LA. The karaoke machine has 51,000 songs in 9 languages (English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese), ready to accommodate LA's multilingual communities! This project is in collaboration with students from Occidental College’s Center for Digital Liberal Arts to document ridesharers’ stories.
