A Story Told, A Voice Heard
“What Is Your Story?” is an interactive traveling art exhibition comprised of anonymous, handwritten stories developed in between the pages of used books. Authored by people of all walks of life, “What is Your Story?” is a touching look at struggles and secrets hidden deep within ourselves and how these untold stories connect us more deeply than we realize. The mission of “What Is Your Story?” is to put an end to the isolation that comes from feeling misunderstood. Visitors to the exhibit can write their story and submit them for display. Visitors can also respond to stories directly by writing an anonymous postcard. This creates a powerful connection where a story is told, and a voice is heard. The exhibit was originally created by Spark Corps and Orange Sparkle Ball, with BooknBrunch, for the Toronto Design Festival.

Take a Look into the Exhibit
Because it is a traveling exhibit, “What Is Your Story?” and its team employs conventions for both long term exhibits as well as pop-ups. For the pop-ups, our team provides the materials and display, and for long term exhibits, we work with the spaces to ensure shelving and processing of books. Whether it be for 1 day or 3 months, the “What Is Your Story?” team is dedicated to make sure all of the storyteller voices are heard and elevated.
Our Story
Be a Part of the Exhibition
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our team at What Is Your Story? believes the voices of people in and around our communities are critically important to be heard. At its inception, the What Is Your Story? exhibit has been performed in physical books and large community events, but due to today’s global circumstances, we all have been asked to physically distance. How can we be brought together when we are physically apart? The team at What Is Your Story? is teaming up with the Museum of Design Atlanta to bring a global (virtual) empathy event to the people in our lives. If you want to participate in this event, you are able to find more information and register here.

The world needs more empathy. Every voice deserves to be heard. We can’t wait to hear from you.
