The Narrative Impulse was a workshop on transmedia narrative held by Salvatore Vitale at PhMuseum Lab, Bologna on 22-23-24 September 2022.
The workshop with Salvatore Vitale is aimed at photographers and artists who want to experiment with the expressive potential of photography in dialogue with different media. In an era characterised by an increasingly interconnected digital communication, visual artists need to deal on a daily basis with languages and media that constantly influence and shape the production of content and narrative projects.
During the workshop, participants will be invited to produce a narrative project that will be developed by adopting different communication strategies. The final objective will be the creation of a transmedia narrative project involving the use of photography in association with other media such as sound, archive images, social platforms, video, text.
Participants are asked to identify a guiding theme for their project and conduct preliminary research on the chosen theme before the workshop. The material collected will be preparatory to the work carried out during the workshop days. There are no limits in the choice of topics: from a social or contemporary context to pure fantasy stories.
