ONLINE ONLY - Community-led Storytelling through Open Access Collections
This session can only be accessed online. As someone with an on-site ticket you can access this session using your own device and headset. Room A is available to use to join online sessions.
This workshop will guide participants through the creation of their own cultural heritage storytelling process using the newly-launched Curationist platform.
Join and discover the major features and tools of the Curationist platform, as well as highlights from over 4 million records in the online collection, and hear some of the narratives created by ‘Critics of Color’ Program writers as examples of storytelling that can be done using this platform.
From there, workshop attendees will participate in a variety of activities designed to brainstorm and begin outlining a cultural heritage story grounded in their own work or personal experience. Participants will learn how to search for and find relevant images in open access collections, and how to begin building a story around these images.
