“I am NB”: Storytelling Series Part 1

Join AHA! for a special night of local storytellers sharing lesser-known New Bedford stories! “I am NB” is a two-part storytelling series that aims to highlight important, unknown, or under-told stories from the city’s history. These stories will be shared through poetry, music, and good old-fashioned anecdotes and tales. From 5:00 – 5:30PM hear stories from the city’s youth, 5:30 – 6:30PM enjoy curated stories by Jeanne Costa, Maia Livramento, Jan Da Silva, and more! Playing jazz throughout the night is the outstanding Akoma Ensemble, directed by royal hartigan including a special performance with local Cape Verdean songwriter, Candida Rose. From 6:40 – 7:40PM step up to the mic and share your New Bedford story during open mic hour. Hosted by Jamilyn Soares. Also in the gallery, enjoy the art exhibit Social Justice, a show commemorating the ongoing fight for equality, human rights, and social justice for all beings.
