a repository of gestures that fosters cross cultural exchanges through stories using non verbal and tactile communication.
Long description
Our project is a crowd-sourced repository aiming to promote cross-cultural understanding in our postcolonial world. Gestures serve as universal connectors, bridging cultural divides by conveying emotions and intentions. They are a language of their own linked to the lived experience of people and their contexts.
The platform serves as a hub for cultural exchange. By contributing, users become part of a global community and participate in ongoing dialogues about post colonial identity while celebrating diversity. This is a collaborative effort to create a comprehensive resource accessible to all, promoting a pluralistic worldview for generations to come.
Participants can explore and submit gestures with text descriptors, use cases, contexts, personal and community stories, songs and video. Gestures in action are showcased through video and users can map their body movements onto a 3D model and submit a video clip of the gesture.
