“QUILTS & STORYTELLING TRADITIONS: FROM THE LATINO, AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES AND CULTURES.” A multilingual collaborative project that incorporates quilt making, storytelling, music, and theater. The project will also include workshops, performances and exhibits, intended to promote racial and cultural diversity and mutuality.
The name of our organization, TA’YER, is a phonetic enunciation of the Spanish word taller, which means “workshop.” As the name implies, we develop new theater pieces through a workshop process. We educate and support adult immigrant communities to find their own voice: use their own words or adapting short dramatic texts to develop literacy, a sense of aesthetics, creativity and curiosity for learning and exploring.
