Help Me Tell My Story

May 31, 2016 · by Sue

The Unknown Soldier, c1914, Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Libraries. 1054-UN108Created by Julianna Joe, Louise Saunders, Charlotte Long and Antonia Jacob in collaboration with Kevin Hsu and Aiden Lee

As an interactive exhibition piece, the work engages the audience to participate and share their First World War stories. In the exhibit space the above image of an unknown soldier is displayed on a monitor. Inspired by the young mans picture, audience members are encouraged to enter their reflections, connections or heart comments into a tablet. Once entered the comments appear in real time on the monitor. The impression left is that these comments come from the soldier.  ‘We feel that the soldiers unknown-ness lends the audience his eyes, giving permission to engage in his story and add to the collective knowledge of the first World War and our personal connection, however indirect, with the affects of war’.

Film Posters

December 13, 2015 · by jen1c

Created by Callum McGillivray, Billie Holland, Jess Valvoi, Jackson Thomas and Cory Houghton.

Students designed a range of film posters to present a narrative of World War One based on the genres of 1920s drama, modern biography, melodrama and thriller.

“Acknowledging the history of film posters provides an understanding of how this visual technology tells and expands each individual and collective story.”
