Write a commentThe Recollection Project is excited to announce a collaboration with the City of Oswego offering four summer storytelling sessions for adults on August 12 and September 8 at the new Oswego Welcome Center in downtown Oswego.
Recollection is a grant-funded project with older adults in mind that emphasizes the use of objects to tell and share stories. Recollection believes that sharing personal objects and their meaning can be a catalyst for storytelling, reminiscing, sensory exploration, and connection.
Recollection’s latest collaboration with the City of Oswego will provide storytelling sessions within the community. Participants will have the opportunity to share and have themselves and their object documented by a photographer. Participants, their stories, and their objects will serve as the foundation for an upcoming exhibition, a mini museum of our community, at the Oswego Welcome Center this fall.
Registration is now open. Each session is limited to 10 participants. To register or to learn more about Recollection please visit their website at www.recollectionproject.net
Recollection acknowledges the following partners and collaborators: Department of Art and Design at SUNY Oswego, Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, and Central New York and Northeastern New York chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association. This project is currently funded by the Leon J. Goldberg Alzheimer’s Resource Program and the Health Foundation for Western & Central New York.
