Intergenerational Storytelling & Art
with Casey Parker and Amber Carroll Santibañez in conversation with Sophia Enriquez
In 2012, artist and educator Amber Carroll Santibañez founded the Fall Art Festival: Día de los Muertos at Durham School of the Arts (DSA). As the project grew over the years, Spanish teacher Casey Parker joined as festival co-director. Together, the two have continued to mentor DSA students in creating this annual event that brings together students, families, teachers, and community members of all backgrounds to celebrate cultural heritage and encourage nurturing of family and personal legacies.
In this conversation, guided by Duke professor Sophia Enriquez, we'll get to know Amber and Casey and learn how arts and storytelling - and storytelling through the arts - have helped to unite and strengthen the many communities that comprise DSA.
This is the second in a series featuring conversations with people who are bringing the ideas and values of the humanities into work beyond university borders.
Light dinner/snacks will be provided.
PARKING INFORMATION: Please see the detailed guidance on this page, thanks to our friends at the DHRC@FHI.
Registration not required, but we'll be grateful if you let us know you're planning to attend!
