The Storytelling Show - Vanessa Woznow and Erika Thorkelson - 2018-01-14

I moved to the other side of the mic for a visit to Sunday night's The Storytelling Show to talk about Tales Untold, an exhibition of art and writing that I took part in at The Reach Gallery and Museum in Abbotsford which is running now until September 2. The show features clips of artist talks from Rebecca Chaperon, Chris Reid and Davida Kidd. 

The song mentioned at the end is "Screwed" by Janelle Monáe.

I prepared these two very short readings for Growing Room 2020 before the festival was cancelled. The first was adapted from a story I wrote for Word & Colour in response to an image by Chelsea Rushton. The story and image can be found here: https://wordandcolour.com/2017/07/28/vancouver-to-edmonton-2017-erika-thorkelson/
The second is new, though it's based on a number of tweets.
