Imagination is the third event in the Transformation storytelling series. The series features community organizers, advocates, healers, survivors, theorists, and artists, in the role of “storyteller.” Storytellers will draw from their life experiences and personal and communal narratives and histories in order to speak to the seven event themes included in the series. The events in the Transformation series are intended to speak to our collective desire for deep social change, and to support us in finding the energy, strength, connection, and knowledge that we need in order to repair our world, and to heal ourselves and our communities.
Stories by Leidy Gonzales, Cutcha Risling Baldy, Michelle Azar
Welcome and introductions by Juliann Anesi, Mishuana Goeman, and Jonathan Aaron
Opening lecture by Beth Ribet
Part of the Transformation: Lectures, Conversations, and Storytelling about Healing and Social Action event series. This event and all other Transformation series are free and open to the public. For a full schedule of events in the Transformation series, visit www.repairconnect.org/events.
