Visual storytelling workshops

Telling a story about ourselves may be one of the most intimate and personal things we can do. Through storytelling, we can come to know who we are in unforeseen ways. 

​

We can also create common ground for sharing stories that need to be told. This kind of storytelling needs to be grounded in feelings and experiences.

Through the medium of visual re-framing, we can begin to understand that images we hold of ourselves are often the embodiment of particular traumas, fears, losses, unfulfilled hopes, desires, inner selves, resilience, visions, journeys, transformations... While telling our stories we can re-claim inner space, fragmented memories, fragmented selves, and reintegrate different parts of stories and ourselves so they can work in our interest.

"Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity."  Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
