Sandy Storyline

Awesome Sandy Rebuild chose Sandy Storyline as the recipient of our inaugural grant. Our dean, Taylor Swope, even had the pleasure of working with them in the field one day when they brought a group of talented young high school students to Staten Island to record the stories of residents in the neighborhoods where she's been volunteering since the storm. She can attest, this is an awesome project!

Sandy Storyline is a participatory documentary about Hurricane Sandy and efforts to recover and rebuild. Using audio, video, photography and text, Sandy Storyline is building a community-generated narrative of the storm and its aftermath.

Story is a critical part of building power, encouraging civic discourse and driving change. So far we have collected 300 stories. The project has 4 core components: Web development, Live exhibitions, Education, and Story Gathering.
