“Where Stories Live | Narrative in an Evolving Experience”, hosted by St John’s Co-Cathedral, offers a timely exploration of storytelling as a bridge between heritage, digital transformation, and audience engagement. Taking place at the King’s Own Band Club, the event brings together a diverse group of international and Maltese experts to examine how narrative shapes contemporary cultural experiences.

A key highlight is the keynote by Dr Caroline Wilson-Barnao, a leading voice in museum studies whose work focuses on the impact of digital and participatory media on museums. Her insights into platform-based thinking, personalisation, and algorithmic curation are expected to set the tone for the day’s discussions.

The programme features contributions from Dr Sandro Debono, Dr Annalisa Banzi, John Mallia, Simone Spiteri, and Alex Zammit. Together, they offer perspectives spanning museum futures, psychology, performance, communication, and cultural meaning.

Through panels and workshops, the seminar encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, highlighting storytelling as a strategic tool for creating inclusive and future-oriented cultural institutions. By connecting theory with practice, it positions narrative as central to how audiences experience irrelevant and relate to heritage in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
