The successful commission will be part of a European-funded project to update the ancient visual storytelling notion of the Cantastoria.

Having completed the first stage of the project to build a digital archive hosting the stories, WE-Hope and their UK partner Digital Democracies are now seeking proposals to use digital technology to share them.

Ideally, the piece will be generative and able to be influenced by audiences experiencing the work either online or in public space.

The final animation will be presented alongside a live choral performance of a new composition inspired by the testimony commissioned for the project.
