STORYTELLING

Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, images
and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment.

Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as
a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation
and to instill moral values. Crucial elements of stories and
storytelling include plot, characters and narrative point of
view. (Wikipedia)

Based on the history of the building, the Lithonia Woman’s
Clubhouse is an important part of the story of the city of

Lithonia and can become a strong part of its’ future. The
history of the city and this building are entwined, and the
narrative is compelling. Our teams felt that the idea of
storytelling should the basis for the concept of this project,
both inside and outside the building. The story will be

conveyed through words that are preserved, images that will
be shared, and sounds that are shared through gatherings,
workshops, and laughter. The narratives of the culture of

Lithonia will be documented, visitors will be educated, and
entertainment will be had by all.
