Star City VoiceBox: A Magical Mobile Storytelling Space

Star City VoiceBox will provide an innovative and interactive way to share and preserve stories from your neighborhood. Using thought-provoking prompts, two people (friends, neighbors, family, total strangers, etc.) will sit together in conversation. The VoiceBox will be a safe space designed to foster connection, empathy, and deep listening. The stories will then be recorded and archived, ultimately resulting in a rich tapestry showcasing the diverse life experiences of our community members.

Star City VoiceBox strives to amplify all voices while opening hearts and minds, proving that the shortest distance between two people is a story.

Participants: 10 to 50 participants
Ages: All
Value: $500.00
Requirements: Please provide a quiet, dry, and welcoming space conducive to recording. Electricity will be needed.
