P olivision is a bilingual and multimedia outlet based in Atlanta that covers Latin(o) Amercan

and Global Cultures. We create new content (video, podcast, and interactive media) and curate
international stories about arts, music, film, satire, and other creative expressions of the Latinx
transnational community.

Polivision produces “Hybrid Atlanta,” an original video series of interviews with local artists,
creatives, and entrepreneurs whose work establishes a dialogue with global cultures. In these
interviews we give voice to a variety of personalities who have creatively engaged with the
cultural global flows that are taking place in Atlanta, such as a Puerto Rican celebrity chef, a Co-
lombian Transgender Rights activist, a Dominican fashion designer or a Venezuelan punk rocker.

We do not only interview internation-


al people living in Atlanta, but also lo-
cals whose work has been influenced
by the waves of cultural globalization,
such as a local performer of Brazilian
Tropicalia or an experimental musician
whose creative life changed after liv-
ing in Buenos Aires. We are creating
an accessible and sharable digital ar-
chive that reveals Atlanta’s multicul-
tural and hybrid reality, as a way to
counter ethnocentrism and make visi-
ble a changing creative landscape.

We also produce a series of bilingual videos and
podcasts about Latin(o) American popular culture.
In these productions, we showcase a diverse and
under-the-radar international artistic manifesta-
tions that challenge the stereotypes associated
with Latin American cultures in the United States.
Our first season was about the state of satire in the
Americas.

Our contents are published and disseminated


through our growing virtual communities in Face-
book, Twitter, and Instagram. As part of our cura-
tion of cultural coverage, we monitor stories in
English and Spanish published in the internation-
al media and create an inter-cultural and bilingual
bridge.
