Our Journeys: Stories That Carry Us
Hosted by The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library
Join us for an interactive workshop that honors intergenerational storytelling, preserves community voices, and connects participants through shared reflections. Through prompts, creative activities, and take-home ideas, participants of all backgrounds will explore ways to document family journeys. A storytelling workbook with reflection pages will be given to participants to continue documenting their family stories at home. The workshop also invites participants to visit the Vietnamese Boat People Our Journeys exhibition, on view through Sept 28, 2025 at Think!Chinatown in NYC.
