This final section focuses on instances in which digital storytelling produces counter-normative moments. I argue that these instances or performative slippages resist racialisation by unexpectedly disrupting the performative chain of whiteness. I introduce some atypical individual migrant digital stories found in ACMI's digital storytelling collection, which resist a linear structure and the affective resolution associated with State-based ‘successful’ multiculturalism. Digital stories produced by the Sydney-/Eora-based organisation Curious Works are used as an example of reflexive community-based art practice. Together, these case studies illustrate how the digital storytelling genre can be reimagined to productively engage with the dynamism of lived cultural difference. I close this section by arguing that a critical, cosmopolitanism framework for community-based work can open the parameters of multiculturalism and, ultimately, resist the racialised binary conventionally embedded within.
