International Storytelling Festival 2022 | Seraj

Seraj Libraries and the House of Stories
The International Storytelling Festival
22-24 November 2022
You are invited to the First International Storytelling Festival in Palestine, hosted by the Seraj Storytelling Center. We include performances from professional Palestinian and international storytellers, to share the art of storytelling from around the world with Palestinian communities, schools, universities and libraries. Each performance will be in both Arabic and English, with one Palestinian and one international storyteller. This festival highlights the importance of our fairy tales, folk tales, and wonder tales in honor of our ancestors and the oral traditions kept by women for thousands of years.
As Seraj Libraries and House of Stories, we have a responsibility to consciously work to bring storytelling back into Palestinian daily life as it was in the past. Through our work, we bring people's eyes, ears, and senses back to storytelling, in order to create more storytellers who tell stories from their lives, stories from their ancestors, and even stories they invent from nothing. At the International Storytelling Festival, we imagine, create, and perform stories with you!
