Description of Event:ÌýEnjoy performances of short stories by young women (and allies) of the world they want-- a world of care, justice, growth, and wonder. Each storyteller will don a cape that imbues their story with magic, mystery, invisibility, or superpowers. Escape for a time from the world created from the imaginations of dominators and oppressors who have caused harm to our Earth and those who live on it. Dressed for imagination, we will author a new narrative that honors and sustains life and eco-systems. An equitable, survivable, and thrive-able world is possible, but it needs to be imagined into being. Conversation to follow on how to facilitate activities with your community to activate their imaginations.
