The Storymobile is an endeavor that aims to bring people together in a creative and artistic way.
Described as a "moveable community engagement space," this small red trailer is equipped with iPads, microphones, amps, pens, paper and Polaroid cameras. The Storymobile is towed from one location to another by artists in Minnesota to listen and record people's stories across the community. Writers, filmmakers and slam poets will document these stories and they will be archived.
This unusual art project aims to bring people's stories together by sharing them in a variety of mediums and by doing so, is also bringing communities together. By collecting and archiving people's personal histories, the creators of the project hope to build a community of people that learn from one another.
