THE STORY STORE

The Story Store was an audio-based storytelling project in the form of a pop-up trading post to reimagine the purchasing processes involved in our everyday experiences. I began working on this project and collecting stories in Brooklyn, NY in the winter of 2014. We built a simple, easy to navigate site to host the images and corresponding audio. The installation was later chosen to participate at True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri and Art in Odd Places in New York City in 2014.

Here’s how it works:

Participants contribute a small, meaningful object to The Story Store. Rather than selling it, they tell the story behind the object. They then have the chance to choose a story and object that resonates with them in exchange.

Take a story. Leave a story.
