Join dynamic local storytellers as they take the stage and give voice to some of the stories that shape our bodies throughout our lives.
Discussing her devotion to drawing and painting real human bodies, including her own, artist Bailey Doogan explained: "our bodies are full of stories."
Inspired by this phrase, UAMA and Odyssey Storytelling invite you to an evening of powerful narratives expanding on the art and ideas on view in the exhibition Bailey Doogan: Ways of Seeing. Join dynamic local storytellers as they take the stage and give voice to some of the stories that shape our bodies throughout our lives.
Please note that this event, which is free and open to the public, takes place in the auditorium at the Center for Creative Photography. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. UAMA will extend its closing time by one hour, to 5:30 p.m., so that attendees can view Ways of Seeing prior to the event. Registration is appreciated.
Since 2004, Odyssey Storytelling has been bringing Tucson’s diverse voices to the forefront through the art of storytelling. Their passionate staff and volunteers include journalists, doctors, artists, and educators, among others. Their mission is to enrich the local arts and culture scene by sharing powerful narratives that resonate with and reflect our community. We believe in the transformative power of stories and their ability to connect people across different walks of life. Every month, we gather to celebrate this craft, offering a stage where novices and seasoned storytellers alike can share their experiences. Our volunteer staff is dedicated to providing ongoing training and guidance, helping each storyteller polish their skills and deliver their tales with impact.
