If you had one story to tell what would it be?

Culture Shock is currently the world's largest storytelling project and this new exhibition celebrates the exciting array of stories which have been created so far.

These digital stories or 'mini-movies' have all been created by people living in the North East today and have been inspired by museums and galleries.

Culture Shock: An Exhibition of Digital Stories by People in the North East brings together the diverse range of personal stories including everything from memories of local shipyards to falling asleep in an open grave!

These interesting stories, made up of pictures, sound or animation, are available to view on a large scale projection, in a cinema-style area and even by choosing the ones you want to view online.

As well as the collection of local stories the exhibition also features the museum objects that have inspired them, stills and photos used in the storytelling and objects to inspire future stories to add to Culture Shock.
