Dive into the fascinating world of names as writer Inua Ellams invites a panel of guests to dig deep and explore the story and meaning behind their own names. Our first 10 interested RSVPs will be participatory subjects! \n\n\n\nIn parts of West Africa it is believed children grow to embody their names; that a child named Peace will grow up to create serenity wherever they go. Other West Africans think this is nonsense\, but how do we come to be named? What then do we inherit? Do names change us? Who cares? And why should we?  Held before a live audience\, Inua Ellams guides intelligent\, funny and insightful guests through Anonyms\, a rich\, invasive and poignant exploration into what we are called\, and why. Audience members are invited to come along with the story and meaning behind their own names. \n\nABOUT INUA ELLAMS \nBorn in Nigeria\, Inua Ellams is a poet\, playwright & performer\, graphic artist & designer and founder of: The Midnight Run (an arts-filled\, night-time\, urban walking experience.)\, The Rhythm and Poetry Party (The R.A.P Party) which celebrates poetry & hip hop\, and Poetry + Film / Hack (P+F/H) which celebrates Poetry and Film. Identity\, Displacement & Destiny are reoccurring themes in his work\, where he tries to mix the old with the new: traditional African oral storytelling with contemporary poetics\, paint with pixel\, texture with vector. \n\nIN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOPKINS CENTER FOR THE ARTS AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE \n \n  URL:https://uvjam.org/event/anonyms-with-inua-ellams/ LOCATION:JAM – Junction Arts & Media\, 5 S Main St\, White River Junction\, VT\, 05001\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uvjam.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/3-by-Henry-Nicholls-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250109T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250109T193000 DTSTAMP:20260426T024923 CREATED:20241028T201722Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241028T204957Z UID:10001045-1736445600-1736451000@uvjam.org SUMMARY:Story JAM: Bi-Monthly Storytelling Circle DESCRIPTION:In a society increasingly divided and isolated\, storytelling can bring us together.Story Jam is a bi-monthly story circle where community members can meet to get to know each other through personal stories. All members of the Upper Valley community are invited to join the circle and share an unrehearsed 5-minute true story from their own life. No competition\, no judgment\, no lecturing\, no ranting… Just share a story about something that happened to you and listen to other people’s stories. Whether you are a new or seasoned storyteller; whether you are shy or extroverted – all are welcome! The moderators will keep track of time to make sure everyone has a chance to speak.

How does media promote memory and what are the potential pitfalls? \nAfter her father’s death\, Dena Rueb Romero accidentally discovered a box of letters at her parents’ home. The letters dated back to 1938. These letter illuminated for Dena her parents’ lives during the war and filled in gaps of information that had haunted her childhood. Romero uses both family documents and historical research to flesh out her parents’ moving love story\, the growing hostilities toward the German Jewish population\, her grandparents’ increasing desperation\, and her father’s hard work to help his loved ones escape Nazi Germany in her debut book\, All for You.  \nPainters tell stories about their subjects through pictures. Richard tells stories about his subjects by recording and preserving a dialogue about their life adventures. Turning his focus inward toward his own family history\, Richard excavates the incredible story of his father\, Herman Neugass\, the ‘Human Bullet’—an American Jewish sprinter who famously chose to boycott the 1936 Olympic trials in protest against Nazi antisemitism. \n\n\n\nAbout DENA RUEB ROMERO \nDena Rueb Romero grew up and lives in Hanover\, New Hampshire. She graduated from Brandeis University and received an MA in English from the University of Virginia and an MSW from Boston College Graduate School of Social Work. Her essay about German citizenship was published in a book about reclaiming German citizenship.  All for You is her first full-length book. Dena sings in a women’s chorus\, volunteers at a daycare center\, and works with an organization supporting refugees and asylum seekers. \n\n\n  \nAbout RICHARD NEUGASS \nRichard developed a business offering “video memoir” to individuals and families. Preparing subject(s) on how to approach their life stories and then videotaping them as they presented those stories is his forte.  In undergraduate studies at Amherst College he majored in political science and learned that history is what cultures believe about the stories.  After retiring Richard became an active volunteer with OSHER@Dartmouth\, an organization dedicated to providing lifelong learning opportunities. \n\n\n\nABOUT MEDIATED LIVES\n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of JAM’s “Mediated Lives” series which aims to explore the roll of our current media landscape in shaping American culture\, free speech\, and democracy.
