Twin Cities Stories – Share Yours in a Community Archive with the Mixed Blood Theater

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

The Mixed Blood Theater is gathering a people’s history of this moment and need your help. What has this experience been like for you? What have you seen? What are you doing? How are you feeling?

It might be a true personal recollection.
It might be an interview with someone in your community.
It might be a poem or picture or piece of flash fiction that captures a feeling or a snapshot of what is happening right now in our communities.
It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to come from you.

To be transparent, as with everything right now, this project is emergent—we’ll learn and adjust. As story tellers, our intention is to capture and preserve the stories of this moment, as people want them told. We expect to post these stories as part of a gallery of responses to create a tapestry of experiences of the now. We are guided by the creative commons licensing (freely sharing the work) that others can use to create, study, make, remember.

Please add your story and invite others to share theirs using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffi0YyKCG7fCZFY3OitscYP1p2Qo0ZhJYERF-LcCXjzbGtCg/viewform

Expect this to take 15 or 30 minutes out of your day. I will work with your schedule. You will schedule a time to come whenever it fits your schedule on a day my PCA can’t come.
