Working with RRNO, an Albanian gastronomic organization, this project delved into the development and presentation of stories involving the gastronomy and culture of rural Albanian villages. The team used a GIS to organize data RRNO collects which includes notes on villages and their gastronomy, researched storytelling elements, investigated practices regarding story structure and archetype, and analyzed display and exhibition of stories through multimedia elements using the Esri suite. Through the study, the team provided manuals detailing the technical aspects of the project, alongside recommendations and strategies for future data collection and story construction involved in RRNO’s Albanian Gastronomic Expedition and future projects.
