Tejiendo Historias, a vibrant bilingual storytelling event where personal narratives, cultural memories, and lived experiences are woven together in a tapestry of powerful, heartfelt stories. Rooted in the Latinx tradition of oral storytelling, this event celebrates the voices that too often go unheard—voices that carry history, humor, resilience, and truth.
In a time when our stories are needed more than ever, Tejiendo Historias creates space for connection, reflection, and shared humanity. This event is for anyone who believes in the power of storytelling—whether you are Latinx or an ally, a lifelong Rhode Islander or new to the neighborhood, a lover of stories or someone with one waiting to be told.
Come to listen. Come to feel. Come to remember. And if inspiration strikes, stay for the open mic at the end—an invitation to step up and share your own story, en tus palabras.
All are welcome. All stories matter.
