Our 6thVoices Cohort has completed its digital stories! Before we release them to the public, we will be hosting an internal screening for all alumni of the 6th cohort who attended the Jan/Feb 2022 digital storytelling workshop virtually.
Join us for a screening of the Spring 2022 Voices to End FGM/C Videos from Sahiyo and Storycenter! About this event On Wednesday, August 24th, at 3 pm ET we’ll be hosting a screening of the newest Voices to End FGM/C videos, developed out of Sahiyo and StoryCenter’s Spring 2022 digital storytelling workshop with survivors and/or advocates of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Along with a viewing of these poignant stories, some of which have yet to be released to the public, attendees will get the chance to hear from some of the storytellers themselves about their work and their journey. Voices to End FGM/C (Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting), a digital storytelling project created by StoryCenter and Sahiyo, aims to mobilize a critical mass of storytellers and activists from across the globe. Voices brings people together to share and heal from their experiences of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), connect and grow as leaders in their own communities, and create short videos calling for an end to this harmful practice.
On March 28 - 7 to 8:30 pm ET / 4 to 5:30 pm PT Sahiyo will host a closed screening of our newest Voices to End FGM/C videos for those participants who took part in our Voices to End FGM/C Digital Storytelling Workshop in Oct/Nov 2022. Zoom Link will be sent to all participants.
On May 9th, at 4:00 PM EDT, we’ll be hosting a screening of the newest Voices to End FGM/C videos, developed out of Sahiyo, Asian Women's Shelter, and StoryCenter’s October-December 2022 digital storytelling workshop with survivors and advocates against female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Along with viewing these poignant stories, some of which have yet to be released to the public, attendees will hear from some of the storytellers themselves about their experiences. Since January 2021, due to limited in-person events resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Sahiyo and StoryCenter have hosted digital storytelling workshops on a virtual platform. In the fall of 2022, we invited 7 U.S.-based advocates and/or survivors of FGM/C to share their stories. The Asian Women’s Shelter also collaborated with us for this workshop. The Voices to End FGM/C project supports storytellers in sharing and healing from experiences of FGM/C, connecting and growing as leaders in their own communities, and creating short videos calling for an end to this harmful practice. Amy Hill (StoryCenter), Mariya Taher (Sahiyo), and Orchid Pusey (AWS) will moderator this event. Our panelists include storytellers Catherine Cox and Farrah Dalal.
