ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In the first hour, we will explore location-based audio (GPS-triggered smartphone apps etc.) as a tool for site-specific projects that focus on traditional oral storytelling. In the second hour participants will learn how to create a collaborative digital storytelling map and have the opportunity to craft a short audio story using a cell phone—a story that contemplates the emotional dimension of our pandemic reality.
