<div>Bettina Fabos and Kristina Poznan are part of the seven-member
team that shaped the interactive timeline narrative, <a
href="https://proudandtorn.com/"><font size="+1">"Proud and Torn:
How my family survived Hungarian history"</font></a>. Four years in
the making, this Hungarian history project one of the most ambitious
historical narratives adapted to the web, setting new standards for
what is possible through historical texts in terms of visualization
and the reinterpretation of history. Fabos and Poznan will focus on
the project's specific interventions in visualizing Eastern European
history, the relationship between family photos, family history, and
broader historical narratives, and advice for success in
collaborative, interdisciplinary, digital projects.</div>
