The Mapping Participatory Media project is the first systematic approach to this emerging area of documentary.
Explaining the back story of a participatory media project is a challenge. There are often multiple players, outcomes, and aspirations to account for. We tend to condense complex layers of experience into a simple linear story, which can obscure the disagreements, mistakes, unpredictable turns, and ongoing relationships that inform the project (and its “storying”).
In discussing this dilemma, Liz Miller and Dorit Naaman started to imagine a method and set of questions as the basis of a framework with which to narrate the robust story of a project’s lifetime, including the layering of methods, people, resources, and more.
