Storytelling exhibitions : identity, truth and wonder

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "Storytelling Exhibitions describes the role and practice of modern 'spatial storytellers' and looks at the potential of exhibitions to shape our understanding of the world. It explains how curators, designers, artists and scientists combine to tell powerful stories through exhibitions that communicate ideas about identity, history, science and beyond.

    It also outlines how designers are utilising contemporary tools - from AR and VR to 3D scanning and digital archives - and how these new technologies interweave with traditional forms of informing, displaying and promoting in narrative spaces"--
