AWỌ Presents, A Place To Call Home Series

“AWỌ’s “A Place To Call Home Series” is this year's series of educational and awareness programs that began in September 2022 and connects people from many diverse backgrounds through interactive, engaging and healing activities as well as, conversations that invite Bay Area parents, families and youth to experience self-understanding and to catch a glimpse into what it’s like being in crisis or unhoused. Series will attempt to focus on finding common ground and create space for those who don’t have homes and those who do.

THE HOW

Leveraging our expertise both as educators and arts & culturally responsive practitioners to discuss a variety of topics including the lived experiences of the Bay Areas most vulnerable community members, AWỌ will use a staged-reading, discussions, podcasts, film, storytelling, music and music therapy to foster deeper understanding among community members and to inspire civic engagement, dialogue and action. We will put a spotlight on the unhoused, those facing housing insecurity and the need for affordable housing.”
