VozMob

Mobile Voices - Voces Moviles VozMob is a platform for immigrant and non-immigrant low wage workers in Los Angeles to create stories about their lives and communities directly from cell phones, thus gaining greater participation in the digital public sphere, especially for those with limited access to computers. In other words, VozMob amplifies the voices of the excluded by appropriating mobile phones for popular communication. In VozMob we read reality to write our own history, and strive to make visible the true stories of those who have been excluded, marginalized, and made invisible by the traditional mass media. VozMob appropriates technology to create power in our communities and achieve greater participation in the digital public sphere. The project was born out of a collaboration between IDEPSCA and the Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism at the University of Southern California (ASC&J.
