Throughout 2017, Cincy Stories has continued its mission to explore, research and connect with residents of Cincinnati's 52 distinct neighborhoods in Cincinnati. In addition to hosting live storytelling events in Over-the-Rhine, the Street Stories series is available to view at story galleries in Walnut Hills (961 E. McMillan St.) and Price Hill (3116 Warsaw Ave.), as well as on the Cincy Stories website here.
Over the past several months, Cincy Stories’ residency in Price Hill has been made possible by the Haile Foundation, LISC and Price Hill Will. Through weekly openings at the story gallery, participation in community events and local business partnerships, the Cincy Stories team has recorded many personal narratives documenting the rich history of these three culturally diverse neighborhoods.
Executive Director Shawn Braley and Creative Director Chris Ashwell said they believe that by listening to others' personal experiences, we develop more empathy for them despite our differences in background or worldview.
ArtsWave, the Warsaw Federal Bank and Baron Engraving are also sponsoring the Dec. 9 event. For more information, visit Cincy Stories' website here.
