The Stories We Tell
Project Feel presents “The Stories We Tell”, a digital campaign intended to examine and uplift poetic stories rooted in ancestral themes in the form of spoken word performances. As children of immigrants ourselves, we’re deeply interested in the experiences of those who have migrated themselves, are children of immigrants, or examine the connection to their heritage/ancestral roots. By shining a light on these powerful stories through our cinematic lens, we seek to explore the impact these experiences have had on each poet’s life and artistry, no matter how close or distant they may feel to their ancestry.
This all culminated in a collaborative poetry performance & open mic with "Se Buscan Poetas" at the legendary Bowery Poetry Club.
Thank you to our friends at MetroPlusHealth for it's support during this campaign.
