EMMA LAZARUS
Emma Lazarus is considered America's first important Jewish poet. In a recreation of Emma Lazarus's sitting room, where she wrote "The New Colossus," the famed poem affixed to the Statue of Liberty, an interactive folio tells the story of not only Lazarus, but the ideas and debates of late 19th century New York. Designed to appear as an ordinary book sitting on a desk, the folio is actually a digital interactive. Within each page, images, video, infographics, animate and bring each chapter to life.
