It’s great to live a great story and also to tell a great story. Saundra Gilliard has the natural gift of storytelling. Enjoy Storytelling with Saundra Gilliard in connection with the ongoing exhibition, Dolls, Idols, and Ideals. Gilliard will present an array of riveting stories from West Africa, Black America, and the Caribbean that inspired the artists of Dolls, Idols, and Ideals, Kimberly Camp and Emilio Maldonado. Gilliard’s stories will help viewers better understand the works. The exhibit features more than one dozen homemade dolls. The artists examine their identities, labels, lineages, and “how they create their power while stranded in a ‘new world.” Camp and Maldonado employ symbols as a way of referencing their ancestry and spirituality. The gifted Gilliard will bring the exhibit to life as a nationally recognized storyteller. For 20 years, her stage performances and training “playshops” have promoted and cultivated Sacred Feminine Practices and techniques. She is the founder of Femininely Free!, and the current co-chair of the Philadelphia Folklore Project. Storytelling with Sandra Gilliard is free, but register in advance; doors will open at 2.45 p.m. EST; the performance will be at 3:15 p.m. EST. Appropriate for ages 10 and up.
