curation that sparks curiosity

About

sharing stories in three dimensions

Storyscape works with museums, cultural institutions and science-based organizations to uncover and share stories that connect people, culture, and the natural world.
Creating Meaningful Connections

Storyscape helps you design visitor experiences that inspire curiosity, promote understanding and celebrate the diverse narratives that shape our world.

The founder of Storyscape, Jennifer Pantel, is a museum professional with a Master in Museum Education and extensive experience in interpretive writing, research and exhibit development.

Jennifer works with you to find visitor-centred solutions to curatorial challenges while meeting deadlines and project goals. Using proven interpretive strategies, she weaves storylines, imagery and objects seamlessly through multi-media exhibit spaces and collaborates to create compelling narratives shaped to your project’s unique vision. The results are engaging exhibits and interpretive content that gets noticed.

Community Focused

Storyscape’s approach to the process of interpretive planning and exhibit development is anchored in community engagement. Jennifer has worked with a range of organizations and community groups over the past 20 years, supporting processes that honour diverse voices. 

This collaborative approach is reinforced by Jennifer’s professional certification in Visitor and Community Engagement and training in group facilitation.

Highlighting community experiences and perspectives is an important part of elevating a story and enhancing emotional connection. As an interviewer with a background in research ethics, Jennifer has had the honour of talking to a range of community members and facilitating oral histories. Local knowledge and storytelling are very important to enriching visitor experiences. 

We greatly value what Jennifer Pantel at Storyscape Consulting brings to a project. She is curious, intelligent and professional. Her common sense approach and thoughtful response to all design team members, especially clients, makes her a valuable asset on any project.

From the outset, I was impressed with Jennifer’s professional demeanor, yet enthusiastic attitude.... She worked well with everyone at the different development stages and I feel exceptionally proud of our final displays.

I have worked with Jennifer on a number of projects over the years. I believe her greatest strength is her ability to take the seemingly unrelated, complex reference information provided by a client, combine it with her own research, and turn it into concise, informative, approachable content.

Jennifer developed interesting, accurate content for nearly 60 interpretive panels...and created a fun and friendly writing style to engage our target audience of 5th graders through adults. Jennifer did a great job on the project and I would certainly recommend her.

Jennifer clearly understands the changing role of curators, from sole content authority to facilitator of community dialogue and multiple perspectives. She knows the importance of giving voice and shared ownership to source communities over their own story, and she understands and respects Indigenous perspectives and practices.
