EVENT SERIES
CREATING NEW
AMERICAN STORIES OF US
Let’s flip the script on our narratives of division.
ENTER THE STORYTELLERS. ENTER THE NARRATIVE SHIFTERS.
Storytellers can be the heroes America needs right now, dismantling the destructive “us versus them” dynamics that are fueling our current political crisis and isolating Americans from one another. Storytellers can act as societal norm-shifters for how we engage across our differences, helping us imagine a shared democracy for an ideologically diverse, multiracial America.
Creating New American Stories of Us is an event series that explores entertainment’s potential to strengthen America’s social fabric and create a shared sense of “us” as Americans.
