SYNOPSIS

(dis)location - Salvador explores geographies of various communities in Salvador, Brazil through the oral narrative of  local inhabitants. 5 narrators take you on a tour of their respective neighbourhoods as part of a personal trajectory into the practice of their daily life.

This documentary oral narrative tour of place can be experienced in different ways: one can go online and do a virtual tour of each neighbourhood by navigating the hand drawn maps. A podcast version and mobile application with GPS allows one to follow the hand drawn maps anywhere in the world, or onsite, by listening to the narrated local history and walking. A documentary film on (dis)location – Salvador is also available for screening.
