The Urban Appalachian Community Coalition and A Picture’s Worth invite you to participate in paid opportunities to interview folks about their lives, including interviews for UACC’s Kith and Kin Project, focusing on the experiences of Cincinnati-area residents with Appalachian Roots.

You’re invited to our next Kith & Kin Story Gathering Opportunity!

Bring a photo or object that says family to you, and tell your story. This fun, family-friendly event begins at 12:30pm and continues into the evening.

• October 6, 2024
• Story Gathering, 2-5pm
• Carnegie Center, 3738 Eastern Ave, Cincinnati

The afternoon story gathering activities will be a focused time during which there will be dancing, crafts and other activities available for individuals who are waiting to be interviewed and/or to share their stories. In the evening, there will be a featured guest, Crystal Wilkinson, who is a founding member of the Affrilachian Poets, a nationally known author and university scholar who will share life experiences and learnings with community participants. Her presentation will be a centerpiece of the evening which will also include music, poetry, and other sharing.

This project was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Spark Grant.
