Listening Garden: Stories from the Pandemic

Inquiry arts and MI Diaries logos

Type: Presentation

Description:
Since April 2020, MI Diaries has been collecting weekly “audio diaries” from Michiganders, throughout the pandemic and beyond. Each week, a handful of these stories are anonymized and added to our ongoing archive. In collaboration with Inquiry Arts, we’ve set up a comfortable garden area for Science Festival participants to relax and hear some selected stories of hope, resilience, and shared experiences from kids, teens, and adults from the past year and a half. Participants will also get a chance to contribute their own audio diary to the project. We’ll provide prompts to get folks started!

Presented by:

  • Betsy Sneller, Co-Director, Sociolinguistics Lab, MSU
  • Rhys Gogonis, Creator, Auxin Games
