1:00 pm: SHEROES STORYTELLING WORKSHOP WITH STEVIE TAKEN


February 29, 2020

In preparation for "Sheroes," an Inlandia Institute event of live storytelling at the Riverside Public Library for Women's History Month, we are seeking storytellers to sign up for a series of two FREE storytelling workshops. Storytellers will present true stories from their own lives inspired by women who have had an influence on them.

Have a story in mind, or maybe two? Think about telling your story in the style you would tell a friend. At the workshops we will take turns telling our stories and offering feedback. The feedback is intended to help develop the presentation of our stories for the benefit of an audience. Stories must be true (there is room for artistic interpretation), happened to you, told in the first person, and under ten minutes in length.

Space is available, but limited. The workshops will be held Saturday, 1/25 @ 1pm and Saturday, 2/29 @ 1pm. Both workshops will be held in Riverside (address given upon confirmation). Participation in the workshops do not obligate you to share your story at the "Sheroes" event on March 5th, nor guarantee that your story will be selected to be included in the program.

Below are a set of guidelines for live storytelling which we have borrowed from The Moth, (https://themoth.org/share-your-story/storytelling-tips-tricks), a live storytelling podcast which is highly recommended; they present stories in the style we are aiming to achieve. Plus, it's a great companion for a walk around the neighborhood, a long drive, cleaning your house, or not cleaning your house.

If you have any questions, or would like to reserve your spot for the workshop, contact Stevie Taken at stevietaken@gmail.com, or call (562)704-9949.

6:00 pm: FACING FIRE OPENING EXHIBIT AT THE UCR CALIFORNIA MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY


February 29, 2020

Join Inlandia for the opening exhibit of Facing Fire at the UCR California Museum of Photography on February 29th at 6pm.
Fire as omen and elemental force, as metaphor and searing personal experience -- these are the subjects explored by the artists of Facing Fire. California's diverse ecologies are fire-prone, fire-adapted, even fire-dependent. In the past two decades, however, West Coast wildfires have exploded in scale and severity. There is a powerful consensus that we have entered a new era. The artists of Facing Fire bring us incendiary work from active fire lines and psychic burn zones. They face fire, sift its aftermath, and struggle with the implications.
The UCR Museum of Photography is located at 3824 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501.

7:00 pm: MANY RESTLESS CONCERNS: A CHORAL READING

The Riverside Women's Club is located at 4092 Tenth St, Riverside, CA 92501.
Coming February 2020, Many Restless Concerns (a testimony): The Victims of Countess Bathory Speak in Chorus gives voice to the hundreds of girls and women killed by Countess Erzsébet Báthory of Hungary between 1585 and 1609.
This event is organized by the Women’s Theater Workshop. The Women's Theater Workshop is a place for women to explore their own voices and stories as actors, directors, writers and technicians.
