The Waterers - Elders Digital Storytelling Project

This project is a digital storytelling project dedicated to bonding communities and cultures through telling elders' stories. The project is embedded in the idea that our elders are waterers - carrying history and knowledge that strengthens a community's identity, and that through the sharing of their stories, we can understand and strengthen communities across generations and geographic location. The project will involve 30 persons from Indigenous, Hmong, Latinx and Somali cultures located across the state. Each community will produce artwork that will be exhibited collectively and toured within each participating community reaching an estimated live audience of 3,000, and online audience of 10,000.
