There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Please join co-producers, Cheryl Cofield and Pearl Alexander, for the third annual Transformative Narratives Storytelling Crawl from October 26-29, 2020. During this immersive six-event series, renowned, nationally touring storytellers Milbre Burch, Sonny Kelly, and Lani Peterson will offer virtual, one-person performances and tantalizing story-related workshops. In addition, a host of powerful international, national, local, and Georgia Tech storytellers will take center “stage” to help audiences enhance self-awareness, increase cultural competence, and connect through the sharing of diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives.
All events are virtual, free, and open to faculty, staff, students, and invited guests from around the globe.
A one-man story performance that draws on the voices of ancestors, elders, youths, and intellectuals to engage in difficult conversations we must have with our children as we prepare them to survive and thrive in a racialized America. Combines un(der)told history, personal narratives, interactive theater, and exquisite character acting to expand notions of equity, justice, and inclusion through embodied memory.
