The Butterfly: A Radical Act of Community Storytelling
Presented by – Queen Nur!
Storytelling is the first art form. From its inception on the continent of Africa, storytelling has been steeped in communal ethos. It is an amalgamated event of teller, audience and musicians (if present). It teaches lessons, empowers voice and maintains societal values – It connects!
Let’s Connect!

Community storytelling is a place where diversity is celebrated and lessons are learned in the best possible way—from people who are different from us. By listening fiercely and intensely, we allow ourselves to be amused or scared or made joyful; we open up to new possibilities. – Penelope Starr
