MULTI-SENSORY STORYTELLING
16:40 - 17:30 Tuesday 17th Mar 2026 / 50 min
The past 15 years have unleashed a wave of immersive projects challenging the visual dominance of 20th-century media. These works invite embodied engagement through smell, touch, and positional awareness, turning passive viewing into visceral understanding.
What is driving increasing numbers of producers to turn to these expanded senses? What new forms of knowing do they unlock and how do they reshape our relationship with documentary storytelling? Can alternative sensory approaches reflect the experience of people who are marginalised by the foregrounding of the audio-visual? And what are the challenges for producers in designing and creating for expanded senses?
More speakers TBA.
This session can only be purchased as part of the full afternoon bundle.
