Call for Non-Fiction Digital Stories

Afterlife of Discarded Objects is “a digital non-fiction storytelling project that explores the stories that discarded objects can tell about our history. The project will examine how people’s memories of their childhood games with discarded material objects inform the way they imagine the cultural landscape of their childhood.”

Curated by Natalia Andrievskikh, Fulbright alumna and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at Binghamton University, plans are to transfer stories “onto an interactive map where users will be able to click on marked locations and read stories from that location.” Andrievskikh will also reflect on the shared stories in the book that she is am currently working on, titled “Afterlife of Discarded Objects.”
