Twelve storytellers, eleven artists, one exhibit: The Stories of Home exhibit was an intergenerational collaboration between a group of storytellers from the Lifelong Learning Institute at Nova Southeastern University, and a group of South Florida artists connected to the World and Eye Arts Center.

Imagine telling a story about your life and then having it transformed into a work of art. We gathered twelve senior adults and asked them for a "story of home". The stories were beautiful—moving, funny, and utterly charming. Then we gave recordings of the stories to a group of local artists to translate from words into painting, collage, and dance. 

You can hear all the stories below. The artwork were displayed at the World and Eye Arts Center at the FAT Village Arts Walks. There were artists at the event willing to "paintify" audience stories live at the gallery...

Featuring art by: Abel Cornejo, Marilyn Johansen, Jenny Larsson, Jean Minuchin, Farida Morris, Jill Morris, Meghan Morris, Anabel Peicher, Helen Reynolds, Guillermo Santiago, and Jen Walls.
