A life is captured in more than dates and photographs – it is in the voices, stories, relationships, memories and shared moments that offer windows into a person's life. Digital memorials can help to shape a tribute that feels layered, expressive and personal.
In this hands on workshop, you will be introduced to ways of combining images, sound, video, writing and storytelling, to create a digital memorial that reflects the individuality of the person being remembered.
Content note
This event runs in conjunction with Dearly Departed: death in life, State Library’s exhibition drawing on rich collections of objects and stories to explore how social, cultural, spiritual, historical and political forces have shaped Queenslanders’ attitudes to death and dying. Attendees are encouraged to visit the exhibition before or after the event to deepen their engagement with its themes and artworks.
Some events may also include references to, or recordings of, people who have since passed, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
