The Storyworld Project
Exploring what makes up our Storyworlds and the phenomenon of Narrative Transportation.
︎ Project Website
The Storyworld Project is a creative exhibition that explores the concepts of cognitive storyworlds and narrative transportation. The exhibition was installed at Libreria bookshop, targeting creatives and storytellers. The project aims to discover if our minds can be opened up to different perspectives and possibilities of interpretation by externalising and sharing people’s personal storyworlds.
Research shows that stories are important for social change. They influence our real-world beliefs. However, when working with narratives in creative practice, we are often limited by our psychology and prior experiences. Exploring and considering the storyworlds of others — collaborative colleagues and potential audiences — could hold insights into how we can be more effective and inclusive as storytellers, creating positive change in the world through more inclusive stories.
