Our Stories. EPISODE 3 - The stories we tell each other and ourselves

This four-part podcast series, brought to you by The Skinny in partnership with We Are Here Scotland, explores the conversations, questions, creativity and reflections that emerged from Our Stories Between the Myths and Memories: a free weekend of storytelling by artists from the Scottish African diaspora at the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum, October 2022. EPISODE 3 In this, our penultimate episode of the series, we’re looking at one of the reasons why this podcast came together. It’s about the stories we tell each other and ourselves. When Natasha was curating this series they said it would look at reflecting on the stories that David Livingstone Birthplace are telling, the stories artists of the African Scottish diaspora are telling, and how these can act as bridges between people, storytelling then became the overall theme.

Our Stories. EPISODE 2 - Joining the disparate dots

This four-part podcast series, brought to you by The Skinny in partnership with We Are Here Scotland, explores the conversations, questions, creativity and reflections that emerged from Our Stories Between the Myths and Memories: a free weekend of storytelling by artists from the Scottish African diaspora at the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum, October 2022. EPISODE 2 In this, our second episode we explore the joining of disparate dots. And by disparate, that may mean displacement, disconnection from heritage and the stories of our lives but also, how to connect old lives to new, including moving from one continent to another for example. This was a strong theme over the weekend programmed by Natasha and their creative community, but we also wanted to question what are these dots? Who and what do they represent? How might they join? Do they even join? And hopefully, some of these questions will be answered OR… give us more to think about.
