Underground railroad

Stephen Marc is Professor of Art, Arizona State University. He showed us his complex layered pictures created as a result of his research in to the so called underground railroad. These were the hiding places used by activists to conceal slaves being smuggled out of the country. His images were primarily of the places as they exist today. The historical context is added in the overlaid pictures.
This is storytelling that depends largely on the way the visuals are compiled. While Stephen gave us a commentary the published work is visual. Wide landscape pages with no text.
It made us think of using some more complex montages that build as digital stories unfold.
