Deep Listening, Deep Change: Storytelling for Movement Building, Los Angeles
As part of Circa’s Queer Histories Festival, OUTWORDS presents Deep Listening, Deep Change: Storytelling for Movement Building.
Drawing from oral history techniques from The Outwords Archive and real world organizing strategies from the LA LGBT Center, we’ll practice both sharing our own stories and listening to others with openness and curiosity. Inspired by the success of deep canvassing in LGBTQ+ rights movements, we’ll discuss how to engage in conversations that create real change.
Participants will leave with practical skills for using personal storytelling to connect across differences, challenge harmful narratives, and build a more just world.
The event will be lead by by Maria Do (any pronouns), Community Mobilization Manager at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, and Jack MacCarthy (he/they), Communications Director of The Outwords Archive (OUTWORDS)
Join us at the Advocates and Gochis and Gallery on Sunday October 26, 3-4:30pm
