Session: Hidden Stories – New Voices: This project focuses on thinking about the way people live and engage with culture in its broadest sense through digital technology and trying to understand what that means for how people are going to engage with traditional arts and cultural forms.
Hidden Stories – New Voices
This project attempts to make our cultural assets more available and usable to our audiences so that they can be either co-creators or creators in their own right using the assets we have. The intention is to do this while avoiding the false dichotomy that by being sensitive and/or responsive to the audience that we are denigrating our expert authority. We hope for both to coexist and even thrive.
