Chasing Change brings together creatives to explore the power of change through the eyes of writers, poets, painters, and storytellers. Chasing Change is a remnant dance, an ongoing movement echoing from the past, matching our obligation as human beings. Together, we’ll reflect on what chasing change means and what opportunities transformation presents. Take part, experience and create change with us.
Author’s Hour: 11 am–12 pm
Words swing doors wide open to unexpected worlds. Stories burst ideas into vibrant life. In Authors’ Hour, we listen to voices that span continents and cultures. Writers share chapters from their books; the moments shaping their lives and inspiring communities.
We honor the richness of human experience with stories that challenge perceptions and create new perspectives. Join us for an hour of listening. Authors’ hour is a gentle invitation to be moved by the incredible power of fresh narratives spoken live.
