“Protecting Our Territory” documents how a Peruvian film collective used an action camera and mobile phones to co-create a 360 video project with a group of young people as a way to deepen their sense of belonging and connection to the natural world.

Bishu Cine is a non-profit cultural association that uses film, audiovisual media, the arts, and new information and communication technologies as tools for social change. Together with the Great Ingenious Readers Club of Carabayllo (located on the outskirts of Lima, Peru), Bishu Cine created the participatory exhibition "Protecting Our Territory and Environment," which gave twenty young people their first virtual reality experience. Bishu Cine began by adapting the interests of the club's members to a story based on everyday spaces, such as their soccer field and the nearby Bed of Clouds in the Spring Hills, and then helped them film scenes with a specialized camera to capture 360-degree landscapes and transcoded the footage so they could explore them with virtual reality headsets. The experience strengthened the young people's sense of belonging and care for their surroundings and emphasized the importance of preserving environmental memories through their own perspectives.
