Come, sit, & let’s have tea with our living ancestors as we share untold histories of the city we call home.
This intergenerational storytelling exchange invites young people to bring an elder they admire (a grandparent, an aunt, a neighbour, a mentor) & sit down together to talk over tea.
Drawing on South Africa’s long tradition of oral storytelling, the workshop creates a structured but intimate space for the kinds of intergenerational conversations that don’t usually happen in the rush of everyday life.
This is an event about archiving the ordinary. The everyday memories, domestic rituals, & personal histories that don’t make it into the history books, but that are the real texture of this city.
Tea and snacks will be provided
