Awareness of our biases helps us recognize their influence
Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition ServiceThe Bias Inside Us Exhibition Media
Visit ProjectThe Bias Inside Us, a traveling exhibition produced for the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), offers an opportunity to learn how to challenge bias in the world through awareness of one’s own bias. To engage visitors with thought-provoking media such as video testimonies, activities, and games, SITES engaged Night Kitchen Interactive.

Building upon an established visual identity, Night Kitchen Interactive produced over a dozen digital interactives to support the exhibition. These include a series of animated testimonial videos about the serious consequences of bias, an immersive expert interview between psychologist Dr. Tessa Charlesworth and philosopher Dr. Kwame Anthony Appiah, and a serious “choose your own adventure” game that teaches users how to spot and confront microaggressions in a casual social setting.
