This event is different than our typical events and we are very excited about that! The focal point of our event will be an interactive archival media exhibit. This means there will not be sit down tables (there will be chairs and bistro tables) - there will be delicious hordourves, beer, wine and plenty of non-alcoholic options. Plan to move around the space to look at and listen to our history through a visual and audio exprience.
Here's more info about the exhibit:
Interfaith Works invited Window Seat Media, a local community oral history organization, to facilitate an oral history project as part of its 50th anniversary. Over the past few months, a team of 7 IW staff, board members, and volunteers conducted 10 audio recorded interviews with their peers. Together, these recordings tell a story of people coming together around shared values–of humility, inclusivity, interconnectedness, compassion, and social justice–to respond to ever emerging needs in our community. And they provide a small window into IW’s collective action from the perspective of a handful of people who have contributed to this work over the last five decades. You can experience these stories at the 50th anniversary event through an audio exhibit. Listen to memories about the evolution of IW commitment to sheltering, from its earliest efforts to visions for the future. Learn about the origins of rituals like Day of Remembrance and Moment of Blessing. Hear reflections on both the challenges and strengths of being an interfaith organization. There will be opportunities to share your own memories and to express care and gratitude to others in the IW community through interactive activities during the event.
Here’s the list of interview participants, or featured narrators, if you’d like to include that:
Rev. Carol McKinley
Clark Gilman
Danny Kadden
Gary Warncok
Kathy Erlandson
Lawrence Naputi
Meg Martin
Mustafa Mohamedali
Patrick LaVoilette
Russell Lidman
