With support from the California Arts Council, Capital Storytelling will empower immigrants through 12 storytelling workshops. Immigrants’ stories will be amplified through a large public showcase. The 12 storytelling workshops will be hosted throughout Sacramento and are intended for first and second generation immigrants to come together and share their true stories with one another in a healing act of community building and solidarity. We will then invite some of our workshop participants to share their stories on stage in front of a live public audience at a culminating showcase event in Sacramento intended to amplify the stories from the immigrant community. Our ultimate goal is to empower immigrants and to change the societal narrative surrounding immigrants.
