UNESCO & World Heritage

The Gagarín team brought these stories to life through illustration, animation, and the creation of an interactive world map, allowing visitors to explore and discover all the World Heritage sites across the globe.

My role in this project was to storyboard and visualize 11 distinct stories covering crucial topics and historical moments related to World Heritage sites and global issues. These interactive installations are strategically positioned in the eight locations across Norway.

In total, I produced over 150 final illustrations, accompanied by extensive sketches and storyboards. With a focus on compelling narratives, the work not only visualizes animations that bring UNESCO and The World Heritage to life but also illustrates distinctive elements of each of Norway's eight World Heritage sites. In the end, the key lies in telling these stories through simple animations, seamlessly integrating design expertise and artistic creativity to offer an immersive and engaging experience for visitors.

These interactive displays delve into the essential inquiries surrounding UNESCO and the World Heritage program. Visitors can explore UNESCO's origins, understand the criteria for selecting World Heritage sites, and contemplate the consequences of these designations. The tables offer a captivating narrative, addressing questions about the creation, purpose, and significance of the World Heritage program.
