Maryland’s first ever statewide humanities conference is happening this summer.

“Centering Community Voices: Exploring Stories That Shaped Us” is a gathering for anyone who believes that stories matter, that history is alive, and that communities deserve to be heard.

Together, we will explore the humanities’ potential to promote inclusion, dialogue, and social justice through storytelling.

This summer, Maryland Humanities will bring together a diverse group of cultural workers— community members, museum professionals, service providers, public historians, educators, interpreters, students and others involved in humanities efforts and community engagement—to highlight the various programs and best practices related to storytelling taking place in the state and wider region. This includes how we document, share and collect stories broadly, from exhibition development, podcasts and media creation to oral history projects and film.

Registration:

• $20 for the general public
• $10 for Regional Humanities Networks members (Become a member today for discounted conference registration!)
