Bråkar med skuggor

”Bråkar med Skuggor” är en bok som hanterar ovisshet och saknad. När framtiden inte längre existerar och det förflutna bär på erfarenheter av smärta, sorg och lämnad kärlek så blir nuet en vän som inte alltid vill väl. Då finns skrivandet. Med skrivandets hjälp blir det egna rummet en del av världen och de egna tankarna blir till en dialog. En dialog med dig som läsare. Denna debut har kommit till under åren 2017-2020 av A.T som lever som ensamkommande flykting till Sverige. A.T:s ord: ”Skrivandet är min röst, min känsla av olika anledningar. Skrivandet visade mig hur jag kan uttrycka mig kring något på olika vinklade sätt. Jag brukar skriva om någon eller något, beroende på vad som händer i mitt liv, och det känns starkt att få ut det jag känner på papper, och att andra kan läsa mina dikter, och tolka på olika sätt”

“There is always something happening after the other, just like how after one wave there is another”

(Quote by Sofia, participant in the project ”Dance and Storytelling”)

We had a lovely day recording the voice over together with the team from Saraswathy Kalakendra Institution of Fine Arts last Sunday. The film that we are making together is based on outcomes from our digital storytelling workshops in the project ”Dance and Storytelling”. Thank you for an inspiring day Sofia (Shweta), Antara, Akanksha, Maya, Shweta, Jessica, Usha Balasundaram and Lisa Partby! The film will be released later on this summer/fall and will also be a part of a show produced in collaboration with our European partners: Teatre Tantarantana ”Teatr Grodzki” Acta Community Theatre

Digital Creative Europe conference!

Historieberättarna’s Creative Europe conference was unfortunately cancelled in March, and our partners from Poland (Teatr Grodzki), England (ACTA community theater) and Spain (teatre Tantarantana) had to cancel their trips to Stockholm. However, we did the conference digitally a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out to work perfectly fine! The main purpose of the conference was to give the participants an insight of Historieberättarna’s creative working method.

Historieberättarna works with the senses as a source of inspiration for creation as a part of our method. In order to that, we did storytelling exercises with the senses of smell and taste, discovered ”soft impressions” in the forest with our sight, we did a storytelling exercise around a sparkling fire, a guided forest meditation, and we also did a stop-motion film in Zoom with our movements!

So even though the conference was digital, the participants got to visit the swedish virgin forest and experience it with all the senses. (and they also got material to work with with the post) We are so glad to hear that some of our partners now have started to use our method in their activities!

TELL WITH TEXTILE

”Tell with textile” is a project where young participants work artistically with texts, images, patterns and screen technology on textiles. A series of banners / flags will be created, all of which tell something about the person who created them or communicates an important message. The creative process contains many different languages ​​and many stories, and parts of them will be shown in the exhibition! The project is running at a school in Stockholm and will be finished in May 2021.

Project leader is artist Cristina Schippa

DANCE AND STORYTELLING

Since early spring, Historieberättarna and a youth dance group from the dance company Saraswathy Kalakendra Institution of Fine Arts have performed digital workshops together, with focus on storytelling and dance. In September we will do a film together based on the outcome of the workshops.

Last week, after a summer break, the participants shared their thoughts about movements in different situations. Shwetha shared: 

”In the first image, I have tried portraying a deer with a hand movement. I’m trying to show my thoughts through this particular image. So, when I see any animal or object I tend to think of a hand movement that depicts or portrays the real object or animal. Or any other living thing. 

The second image/hand movement portrays a bud of a flower. This image/hand movement next to a plant is to show the beginning of birth of a new life within a life in it’s own. Again the hand movement is something I think of when I see a real bud on a plant.

The third image/hand movement is trying to show a wave. This image is trying to show the movement of life where there is always something happening after the other just like how after one wave there is another”

I HEAR THE FOREST

”I Hear the Forest” is a project in which Historieberättarna together with newly arrived youths carried out creative forest bathing walks. The participants had little or none experience of the Swedish forest. We walked in different forests, and discovered it with all our senses, through various creative exercises. ”Forest bathing” means just ”taking in the forest with all our senses”, and is originally from Japan, where the method is used as a health-promoting recipe for stress. The forest walks are done in collaboration with a forest guide with local knowledge of the forest we visit, and gives us interesting knowledge about nature. The participants also get to do film and photo exercises, and parts of the result are shown on the platform: https://www.kulturochskogen.com/om-projektet

”I hear the forest” is part of the RAPPORT-project.

FOR EVERY CHILD, EVERY RIGHT

In spring 2020 Historieberättarna held a workshop about ”UN- Convention on the rights of the child” at an elementary school in Stockholm. Esemble Yria wrote the song ”For every child for every right” and pupils at the school sang and recorded it. The making of the music video was a part of the RAPPORT project. #historieberättarna #creativeEurope
