hreusa's avatar by Leave a comment



What does oral history look like in practice? What goes into community-rooted storytelling projects and what are the outcomes? Voice of Witness is hosting a series of intimate conversations with practitioners who have developed and activated dynamic oral history projects.

We’ll explore the connections between storytelling and community building, liberation, ethics, civic engagement, public art, narrative change, and more. Sharing reflections and challenges, VOW staff and guest speakers will offer insights into planning, conducting, and presenting oral history projects and their potential impact.

➡ Liberation Stories + Public Art (with Mi’Jan Celie Tho-Biaz,) on 4/23

➡ Participatory Storytelling Exhibitions (with Mark Menjívar) on 5/7

➡ Documenting Refugee Stories (with Diya Abdo) on 5/21

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
