The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Ackland Art Museum is seeking adults with Jewish backgrounds to participate in eight storytelling workshops. No storytelling experience is needed, just a desire to share personal stories of faith experience as well as stories rooted in Jewish traditions. Professional storyteller Louise Omoto Kessel of Bynum will guide participants in finding and telling stories of faith. The workshops will culminate in a recording to be used as a curricular resource Ackland will offer North Carolina schools teaching about world religions.
Space is limited.
Participants are asked to commit to coming to all eight sessions if possible. The workshops are part of the Ackland's World Religions Project, which seeks to help people learn about five of the world's major religious traditions through both the museum's collection and the perspectives of local people of faith. This project has been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation of Winston-Salem.
