Stories are Stories are Stories: Intergenerational Storytelling Workshop with Erika DeFreitas
Stories are Stories are Stories: Intergenerational Storytelling Workshop with Erika DeFreitas
Sunday 9 February
11 AM-2 PM
Join artist Erika DeFreitas in exploring how stories and memories connect generations. With only a faint memory of meeting her paternal grandmother as a child, a story told to her as an adult has led DeFreitas to believe that her grandmother has been communicating with her in small ways to forge a relationship between them that defies space and time. This program celebrates connections beyond the traditional parent-child bond—honouring elders, extended family, and chosen loved ones. Through storytelling and mark-making, participants will reflect on how memories are preserved, transformed, and passed down, while also creating new moments that shape our shared histories.
Recommended for non-parent adults and their younger loved ones (8 – 18) – grandparents and their grandchildren, aunts and uncles with their nephews and nieces, and so on. Guardians, caregivers, and chosen family are also welcome.
