The production company Medea has announced an open call for stories on misinformation for an audio-visual installation titled Illuminated Lies, which will be unveiled at the Edinburgh Fringe this August. Potential contributors to the piece can find out more at the official Illuminated Lies site.

The submissions will, according to a press release from Medea, ‘present narratives that highlight how the impacts of lies reverberate far beyond the most immediate and obvious consequences.’ The art installation resulting from the stories will then be used as an installation which will be shown in Edinburgh from Saturday 17– Sunday 25 August.

‘We believe that listening to another person's story is to open oneself to a deeper understanding of the human experience,’ stated Aoife van Linden Tol, who’s spearheading the project alongside artist Liana Patarkatsishvili. 

‘We are seeking audio contributions from individuals affected by disinformation, fake news, or misinformed beliefs,’ Tol continued. ‘Our goal is to showcase a range of stories—from the light-hearted to the serious—to illustrate the pervasive impact of the lies that shape our lives. Each narrative will serve as a window into the reality of those affected by misinformation, challenging us to revaluate our perspectives and decisions.’
