HTBAF: Alone, Together

Friday, September 25, 2020
8pm (EST)
On Zoom

Stories are what link people to one another. Whether it’s at the kitchen table, around the campfire or whispered into someone’s ear, our stories define who we are to each other and to ourselves. In a year where the world has slowed down, stilled bodies, and sought its voice the How To Build A Fire storytelling series offers a space to remember, heal and dismantle
systems of injustice.

Open Source Gallery in collaboration with poet Terence Degnan provides an exhibit space that evokes truth and exudes beauty. Through humor, pain, insight
and discovery storytellers will bear witness to our past, our present, and our collective futures.

Co-hosts of How to Build A Fire Season VII: Lily White–musician, author, educator, and Jackie Reason–memoirist, playwright, curator, invite the telling of sweet and savory tales conveyed through music, language and art to explore intersections of identity and psyche to an audience who will emerge enlightened, enriched and emboldened.

How To Build a Fire will return to the gallery for Season 7, while remaining on Zoom for its audience. While maintaining a social distance, four storytellers and this year’s co-curators, Lily White and Jackie Reason, will broadcast the event from OSG. HTBAF happens every last Friday of the month. We look forward to seeing your faces once again, but in the meantime please join us online for our monthly meetup.
