Expand your point of view and understanding of equity issues through a special storytelling experience presented by UBUNTU Storytellers, an ensemble of experienced black, brown, and biracial performers who tell stories that “open our collective hearts through empathic listening, to engage in respectful honest dialogue to be moved to change.”

In this event, organized by The Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County, in partnership with The Norwalk Art Space, we invite you to come and hear personal stories of lived experience, stories that reflect the performers’ joys, triumphs, and disappointments: poignant stories, funny stories, stories of being human. You will also hear stories about encounters with racism, prejudice, and microaggressions. Most of all, you will hear stories where you just might find … yourself.

There will be a moderated discussion the following week (Wed. July 13, same place and time) that will use themes heard in the stories to stimulate participant discussion of their own implicit bias, experiences with systemic racism and individual and organizational responsibilities and opportunities. Please note that, participation in the discussion requires attendance at the initial storytelling concert.
