Abstract

The visceral or felt experience and its emotional component are essential to conveying cultural experiences. While discovering new information is easy, conveying the emotional aspect of a cultural experience is much more complex and nuanced. This paper outlines a project to convey the felt experience of culturally mediated events through the use of crowd-sourced photo collages. The focus of the project is to help bridge the gap between domestic and international students and promote cultural exchange.
