DIGITAL MAPPING OF LEGENDS: PRESERVING NARRATIVES, CONNECTING CULTURES
Abstract
This study is an attempt to investigate the creative fusion of indigenous storytelling and digital mapping technologies, with an emphasis on legends from Viswema Village and T.Khel Kohima Village, Nagaland. By creating interactive digital maps, an attempt will be made to put mythological narratives onto their geographic landscapes, transforming these legends and the places they have roamed into storyscapes. This approach will not only preserve the cultural heritage of marginalised communities but will also bridge cultural divides by inviting global audiences to explore and engage with diverse mythologies as well.
