About the Event
Community Story Circle @ Brava!
Presented by Aviva Arts
Monday, May 13, 6-9pm
This Story Circles workshop, facilitated by Andrea Assaf, is part of a series inviting Southwest/Central Asian and North African (SWANA), Middle Eastern/North African/South Asian (MENASA), and Muslim American artists, BIPOC artists and allies, and impacted communities in the Bay Area to participate in workshops, creative writing, and theatre-making in response to the question: What has the impact of the post-9/11 era been in your city, and how does it connect to what’s happening today in Palestine?
This FREE workshop is offered in conjunction with a new project, 11Reflections: San Francisco, devised and directed by Andrea Assaf, featuring Syrian vocalist Lubana Al Quntar and Turkish violinist Eylem Basaldi, premiering October 4-5, 2024 at Brava Theatre. This project is the second in a new national series of performance works, Eleven Reflections on the Nation. In each participating city, the project engages local artists and community members who have been affected by post-9/11 policies to contribute their stories, illuminating our collective experiences since 2001—from the fall of the Twin Towers, to the U.S. wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, to the Muslim Ban, to the funding of genocide in Palestine.
11Reflections: San Francisco is co-produced by Golden Thread Productions, BRAVA! for Women in the Arts, and Art2Action, in collaboration with Aviva Arts and Red Poppy Art House.
