Narrative_Construction

Reconstructing alternate histories through perspective

The Battle of Navarino was fought over the independence of Greece from the Ottoman empire. A large number of the Egyptian fleet was involved in this war. This war involved Britain, France, Russia, Greece, Egypt and the Ottoman Empire. The narrative of wars usually favours the victors. This particular event speaks more about Britain, France, and Russia but little is mentioned about the fallen Egyptian fleet. This prototype investigates how perspective can be used as a tool for emphasizing and diminishing power, as well as means for revealing what is hidden and ways combining various pieces of information.
