The Arriving Storybook: Bidirectional Storytelling through Creative Practice and Interactive Media Design

<p>Arriving is an interdisciplinary research project that incorporated  audiovisual and interactive technology to capture and disseminate  multigenerational narratives surrounding movement, migration, and  arriving at a new place. Employing co-creation and storytelling  techniques, conversations and interactions between younger and older  generations centered around personal objects related to arriving were  documented in audio recordings and portrait photographs and shared in  public gallery exhibitions along with an interactive, online e-book.  This article reflects on the creative process in designing the Arriving  project and, subsequently, the construction of a digital storybook,  which has been distributed nationally and internationally as a tool to  foster two-way integration in international communities. </p>
