An educational programme utilizing the Narrative 4 methodology and images from the Great Expectations exhibition
Telling stories is something people have done since time immemorial. We create stories, remember them, write them down, illustrate them, share them. Experience a story according to the international Narrative 4 project and the "radical empathy" concept - sharing stories by telling them has many useful effects that go beyond the area of literature.
This experiential programme is based on the authentic stories of participants, with authenticity being key. Personal stories should be prepared in advance on the topic of an experience from childhood, and be at most 5 minutes long. And because they're intended for sharing, every participant can decide whether their story will be sad, happy, serious, or light-hearted.
Telling and sharing stories in the programme, thanks to safely configured rules, has the power to bring even diametrically opposed personalities closer to each other. And as we've found, the experience can be transferred to the instructor too. In addition, the current Great Expectations exhibition also has, aside from a close and personal theme, lots of images to be used as inspiration for further creativity.
Surprise friends or family with an unconventional afternoon, or get to know your colleagues in other roles - you can order this programme as a family workshop or team building. More information

Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.

#Datamaze: The Magic of Design
Design is all around us - in both the natural and human world. It's an excellent helper, but can also easily become a means of seduction and deception. In the digital world, design defines how we interact with the virtual universe behind the monitor.
#Datamaze: Fake it!
The Internet and especially social networks make active use of the phenomenon of popularity. The more likes, followers, tweets, posts, blogs, photos… the greater trust people place a virtual identity.
