About the Storytelling and Cultural Delegration
This Fall, Eth-Noh-Tec lead a group of 15 storytellers from around the country in a cultural exchange to meet their storytelling counterparts in India. Hosted by the World Story Institute, they met master artists, puppeteers, musicians, dancers, theater troupes and other artists that use storytelling in their art form. Together, they shared their stories in local communities and built bridges of cultural understanding between the peoples of America and India.
