Stories of Heritage Innovation and Sustainability

StoryLab’s interdisciplinary research investigates how digital innovation and participatory storytelling can deepen empathy and generate positive action regarding issues such as equality, migration, heritage-making and revitalisation, and social justice.

In this exhibition, StoryLab presents research projects across two central themes, Heritage Innovation and Sustainability. Visitors can experience Virtual Reality projects Reviving Kusunda and Immersive Antarctica, which demonstrate how citizen participation, speculative design and creative technologies can be effective in sustaining heritage, communities and culture. Creative projects supported by the Sustainable Futures theme at ARU will show how digital and sustainable innovation and creativity are invaluable tools for exploring the way people interpret the world and their place within it.
