NARRATIVE
Project Prompt
Storytelling does not necessarily require plots, characters, or settings. Narrative potential exists in everyday objects and materials, and their inherent cultural associations. Projects that require extensive research, acts of appropriation or performance can uncover layers of meaning, turning to individual experience as a means of communicating shared stories, whether real or fictional. In the current digital world, these new narrative frames highlight the roles that each of us can play as both author and reader, foregrounding the fact that meaning is dependent on today’s interconnected and visually complex world. In this assignment, design a piece that continues on the path of your work, but focuses more carefully on its narrative potential.
