ANDREA KAMENS

"Once there was a woman who loved the mountains so much that whenever she found a particularly fine one she folded it up, carried it back down itself, and placed it outside her own home so that she was always surrounded by beautiful mountains." " ...whenever she visited a particularly fine mountain, she’d pack it up, carry it back down itself, and place it outside her own home..."
- Moving Mountains, a story by Andrea Kamens

“The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is – it’s to imagine what is possible.”
– bell hooks, Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations

Enter into the public library and the ancient art of oral storytelling, two institutions long used to build community, and spread and strengthen the ideas at the heart of changing systems and worlds.

Here you will interact with the library's collection and art, and learn basic skills and higher level tips to find and craft the revolutionary stories that speak to you today.

4-Sessions Tuesdays in July

For Boston residents ages 65+
Free

"Andrea is a spectacular storyteller. She chooses stories that introduce both children and adults to colorful characters who draw them into new vistas and far away kingdoms. Her stories, delivered with expression and aplomb, always have a point. As an older adult, I love her storytelling. And I watch children respond to her with a full range of emotion."

- Muffy L., Zoom listener
