Join storytellers Kiran Singh Sirah, Gene Tagaban, Queen Nur (Creative Encounters), and Marideth Sisco (Ozarks) as they discuss and reflect upon how stories ground and shape us, and help us find and cultivate common ground.

Kiran Singh Sirah is president of the International Storytelling Center, a premiere educational, arts, and cultural institution in historic Jonesborough, Tennessee. Its annual National Storytelling Festival has been at the forefront of the folk-art movement since 1973, harnessing the power of stories to bridge divides and build a better world.
