Story Tapestries presents performances by professional and community artists addressing the racial equity crisis, amid a global pandemic. The event will be hosted by award-winning spoken-word artist, Regie Cabico, with moderator and racial equity activist, Michelle Faulkner-Forson.
Amplify US! is an intergenerational workshop and series that brings people's stories to light, celebrating identity in all of its complex multiplicities. We welcome all people to the performance and to participate and engage with the audience and artists, keeping in mind that this event is centered around the inequities inflicted around Black Lives.
The Amplify US! Initiative is a collective of artists and arts organizations including Story Tapestries, Arts on the Block, and Capfire Arts. The Initiative delivers free multi-generational workshops and performances for anyone in 7th grade or older who would like to learn to better express themselves and tell their story through art. If you're interested and feel a need to tell your story, join the conversation, or wish to listen, please register to receive the Zoom link to join us!
You may register for free, however, you may also show your support for the artists leading the workshop by making a donation.
