(RESCHEDULED FROM 9/26)

Aisha Durham (University of South Florida)
Claudine Taaffe (Vanderbilt University)

In this digital storytelling workshop—hosted by CODE^SHIFT at Newhouse School and facilitated by Durham and Taaffe—participants will craft life stories using interpretive methods in a two-part session. Participants will employ evocative, emotive language to flesh experience in autoethnography and utilize documentary photography to create a photo essay. Both approaches center on the situated self to explore the body in/as culture. Conversations and activities focus on identity, narratives, personal stories, and expressing oneself. The workshop will connect local immigrant youth artists working on a photo-poetry project as part of the Narratio Fellowship with humanities faculty and students at Syracuse University.

This event is part of Syracuse Symposium’s year-long series on “Repair.”
