Saturday, 10.25.2025
12:00 – 3:00 pm

GRIOT GENDER is a workshop that invites individuals to pass a story to one another within a communal learning and sharing space. Participants are invited to come to this workshop with a short story about themselves, their life, their community, where they come from, and truly any niche story one wants to live through the passing of stories. Oreoluwa will invite participants to demystify archival methods and exalt the history of traditional oral storytelling with them. In this writing and performance based workshop Oreoluwa will also be sharing writing, short film, musical and sonic examples of the storytellers who paved the way for them to think of the ways a story can take shape and morph into something new everyday.
