Media Storytelling Mini-Series

"We know stories can't save the world.

But they can provide moments of respite, transporting us into an imaginative realm where other possible paths we might take shimmer briefly into view."

That's what Jenny Newell, curator for climate change at the Australian Museum in Sydney, has to say about her museum's latest project, a series of multimedia stories that combine scientific facts with creative works and material remixed from the museum's digital archives, the BBC reports.

"These stories combine scientific facts with longform scientist's profiles, original creative works and material remixed from the Museum's digital archives," the museum says in a press release.

They were created as a collaboration between the museum and "Animal Allegories," a group of Australian artists, musicians, and filmmakers who "explores ways to translate conservation science through creative practice, for adult audiences," the press release says.

The first story, Survival Stories, was released in May and tells the story of a species of sea turtle that has been threatened by climate change, the BBC notes.

The second story, Survival Stories: Threatened Species and the Scientists Who Study Them, was released in June and tells the story of another species of sea turtle that has been threatened by global warming, the BBC notes.
