Together, they explored perspectives on evil and held intensely creative, interdisciplinary conversations on the nature of human wickedness.
We are naturally storytellers. It struck us as an interesting idea to bring storytellers together and see what might happen. From this one original event, bringing together historians, psychologists, artists, writers, and community leaders to explore how identities and communities are shaped by stories, over 12 new projects gradually emerged and rooted themselves in a rich exploration of narrative in all its forms.
