About this Event

We would like to invite you to a special storytelling evening on the 16th of June where a community of storytellers from ASKV PAO-Amsterdam will be curating their own storytelling performances at Framer Framed.

The event is free and in English.

Please register to join us.

"Everyone in Amsterdam has a different story. These are the folk stories we learned at our grandmothers’ and fathers’ feet before we came here."

Featuring tellers of folk stories from Nigeria, Eritrea, Niger, Iran and Saudi Arabia, we share the roots of our people in a celebration of the culture that comes here to live in Amsterdam. All the tellers in the performance have participated in the 6-week programme 'Home is a story you carry on your back' run for undocumented migrants by ASKV PAO. During unsteady times, the course provides a refuge where they could express, enjoy art and remember their culture with pride.

This project creates an inclusive place of welcome that invites selected participants to develop stories from their home culture. In doing so they’re able to experience a sense of community while remembering the values they bring with them from home.
