Storytellers Micronesians

Join us at The ARTS at Marks Garage (1159 Nuuanu Ave) on Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for an evening of live storytelling featuring three Micronesian immigrants and Civil Beat reporter Chad Blair, who grew up partly on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The night marks our first Hawaii Storytellers event, in conjunction with the release of our series “The Micronesians: An Untold Story of American Immigration.” Come with us on an audio journey as storytellers recount personal tales of migration. Storytellers include Alice B. Ehmes, Joakim Peter, Sheldon Riklon and Chad Blair.

If you’d like to attend, please RSVP here. The bar will be open, so don’t forget to bring cash for drinks!

You can learn more about the series here.

The event will be broadcast live by Olelo Community Media.

We hope to see you there!
