With support from the California Arts Council, Capital Storytelling will lead 5 community based workshops and one large showcase event through our Immigrant Stories Project. The 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 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.
