Speaking Truths Series: Here and There in Diaspora
@ National Cambodian Heritage Museum and Killing Fields Memorial
2831 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, IL 60625
Opening Wednesday, October 23rd, from 7:30PM - 9PM
Speaking Truths Series community event will return to the museum in October. Our next show is scheduled for Wednesday October 23 at 7:30pm. $5 suggested donation, but we won’t turn anyone away. All proceeds from donation will go toward tellers.
The theme: Here and There in Diaspora.
What does it mean to be here and there simultaneously across borders? What does it mean to be everywhere and nowhere? Our tellers will reflect upon their diasporic experiences through personal narrative.
We have a great lineup that includes:
Carlos Benitez, Elizabeth Cambridge, Alyse Campbell, Risa Mcdonell, Sok Theary Nak, Huy Nguyen, Lupe Nunez, Shikha Sharma
You don’t want to miss these tellers. They have important stories to share and they bring fresh perspectives to the storytelling scene.
