The guide consists of nine chapters that sequentially describe the main concepts and stages of creating such projects and answer the five key questions. Each chapter is illustrated with case examples from international project practices addressing sensitive topics.
This guide attempts to systematize the authors’ extensive experience in developing multimedia online stories and offline exhibitions developed within the framework of the Research & Art Museum. On the other hand, it is a step toward practical conflict mediation by providing conflict researchers with effective tools for developing multimedia storytelling projects on this topic.
A significant part of the presented material assumes implementing projects in the digital space. However, most of the principles and approaches discussed are also relevant for implementing similar projects in physical exhibition spaces.
