EVENT #8: Story Circle / Woman Song

Sunday, April 22, 2007 – 2:00 pm
Art Gallery of Calgary – 117 8th Ave SW
$5

Good Goddess! This event celebrates the stories of women, of all ages. From the original black folk-tales of America, told by well-known raconteuse Orunamamu, to the dub-inspired tales of griot d’bi young. From the urban legend snapshots of Ali Riley and the jazz-told sketches of Möe Clark, to the word-portraits of west-coast poet Wendy Morton. All these women share the common thread of painting a new picture of society in story and song.
