Storytelling urban change
Stories are coming out of the project through videos, media and research publications. You can also read more about our story as a team. We are experimenting with graphic storytelling (see below) with more artwork on the way.
Graphic change stories from Belfast, Belo Horizonte, and Bogotá
Our project recognizes that cities have dominant stories about their history, identity, and change. These stories circulate in the news, via official documents, and through politicians’ speeches. Counter-narratives tell a different story about how the change occurred, who has been left out and why. One of our first priorities with Change Stories was to document both the dominant and counter-narratives in our case study cities. Curated by Magdalena Haakenstad and Lydia Collins (illustrations), these graphic stories show how local academics and community-based partners have documented the narratives of each city, based on their local areas of focus (food, care, housing).
