Participants are invited to reflect by telling their own five minute-story on physicality in daily life — how it is experienced, challenged, or reshaped in different sociocultural, generational, and digital contexts.
Festival guests taking part will be Curaçaoan writer Elvira Bonafacio and Palestinian-Ukrainian peace ambassador and storyteller Zoya Miari. The event will be facilitated by Beatrice Hati Gitundu (ISS) and Pamela Durán DÃaz (IHS). KEKE & Nick (singer-songwriter KEKE and pianist Nicolás Quiroga) will perform during the musical intermezzi.
The Storytelling program takes place in the Atrium of the Institute of Social Studies, situated on Kortenaerkade in The Hague's city centre opposite the Royal Stables.
