The Digital Narratives Studio is a collaborative, iterative, and provocative space to research, produce, and amplify the possibilities of hopeful action through narrative change.
Digital Narratives = Stories + Bodies + Media
Digital Narratives shape the stories being told, bodies telling them, and the media that shape them both to produce new meanings.
Digital Narratives Studio = fn (Stories + Bodies + Media) * Hope/Crises
Digital Narratives Studio shifts the narrative from politics of despair to hope; addressing urgencies beyond descriptions of crises, towards a state of action.
Authorship is a function. It experiments how we tell stories and is created by experiments of how these stories get told. The Fellowship in Experimental Authorship (#AuthEx) prototypes new characteristics of digital author needed to reframe crises.
How do we bring the body back into the stories of computation and networks? Narrative Change Residence (#N-ChaRE) creates ‘playbooks’ that centre care and collectivity to engage people in hopeful action for resilient futures.
Human truths are beyond computational verification. Reality Check (#ReCheck) is a consortium driven research practice to make space for expressions, stories, fictions, fantasies, and speculation, examining boundaries of digital meaning making.
