	Name Un(re)solved An Augmented Reality Art Installation Address 400 Huntington Ave Boston Brief Description An interactive art installation Type Attraction Category Culture Description Who are the men, women and children whose cases were reexamined under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act? In the Un(re)solved installation, explore a living quilt and use augmented reality to bring to life the stories of these persons woven throughout. Learn about a federal effort to grapple with America’s legacy of racist killings. The Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University School of Law is an academic partner for the Emmy award-winning Un(re)solved. Visit the Un(re)solved installation, located outside Northeastern’s Cabot Center until November 18, and use augmented-reality to bring civil rights era killings, often racist murders, out of the shadows of the past. Through rows of engraved trees with roots stretching out below, hundreds of names framed on quilted panes jump out at the viewer. Each name belongs to someone who was killed in a racial violence cold case that was reopened due to the 2008 Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act. Beside each name is a QR code that the viewer can scan with their phones. In order to activate the QR code, which takes viewers through an immersive AR experience with information about that person and audio of their descendants, the viewer also has to speak the person’s name out loud.
