with Hannah Pinilla
English
Join us in the COHDS Computer Lab for an engaging 2 to 2.5-hour workshop designed to enhance your skills in digital storytelling and interactive exhibit creation. Participants will be asked to develop a mini exhibit concept incorporating edited digital content gathered from a brief exercise in conversational interviewing.
In pairs, participants will conduct open-ended interviews with each other, to learn how to draw connections between different narratives. Using IMovie to edit the audio and visual components gathered from the interviews, and Genially software to transform these elements into interactive panels, participants will focus on transforming raw material into a polished, thematic digital story.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have hands-on experience with digital storytelling tools, practical skills in editing and exhibit design, and a finished interactive panel to showcase your creative ideas. This session is ideal for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of technology and storytelling in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
Hannah Pinilla is an oral historian and MA student in public history with a specialization in digital humanities at Carleton University. Her SSHRC-funded master’s research project, “El Sabor del Hogar: The Transformation of Identity and Memory Through the Food Practices of Colombian Migrants in Quebec,” engages nine Colombian migrants, living in Montreal and Longueuil in oral history interviews facilitated through cooking sessions, to explore how the narration, preparation, and consumption of ‘home foods’ is a form of embodied and interactive diasporic memory work. Her research question was guided by my own lived experiences as the granddaughter of a first-generation Colombian-Canadian: how does the dialectical relationship between identity and memory manifest through food practice and what impact does it have on the process of home-building?
