Painting Brooklyn Stories Panel: Telling Stories Through Painting, Oral histories, Poetry & Writing

This panel discussion will explore effective ways of incorporating stories into various forms. Are there common goals through various ways of storytelling? What can audiences gain? We hope to engage the audience in dialogue to promote compassionate understanding of issues dealt with among Brooklyn immigrant populations.
