Description:

Community storytelling is difficult work. Storytellers must contend with myriad definitions of community, engage with community members that hold differing perspectives, and distill multiple narratives, timeframes, and places – local and diasporic – into a singular story. Academic-turned-storyteller Ada Cheng and Full Spectrum Features’ co-executive director Jason Matsumoto join us for a lively discussion on how they navigate telling stories with and for their communities.
