What's Your Story? Storytelling Workshop with Archy Jamjun
Storyteller Archy Jamjun, two-time winner of the Moth GrandSLAM and curator of Outspoken LGBTQ Stories at Sidetrack, leads this reflective conversation and workshop centered around learning to tell our own family’s history, particularly as it may relate to migration and immigration.
This workshop is connected to a broader series of programs at Illinois Humanities asking us to consider, "What does the American Dream mean to you?" and "What does it mean to belong?"
Participants will be invited to reflect on these questions as they discover new ways of telling the stories of their lives.
