Tales of Storytelling 


1

RISD Fall 2018
Advised by Paul Soulellis    

2
Collection of short stories that illustrate how the activity of storytelling often improvises a given narrative — how while the premise of the narrative might remain constant, point of views might change from listener to listener and teller to teller

3
“The Mahabharata is one of the two major epics of Indian mythology that includes fascinating tales of storytellers adding new characters and arcs to the narrative. In this issue of 'Tales of Storytelling', we will be uncovering these layers to find different point of views and unpack how the Mahabharata came to be as we know it today. Over the centuries, the Mahabharata has been retold in temple courtyards and village fairs, in various languages, in different forms, by dancers, singers, painters. However, the practice of reading, writing and conversing in Hindi and other regional languages, in particular among generation Z individuals, has been dying. With English (the co-official language of India) taking precedence, now more so than ever, it is imperative to provide children of Indian origin living across the globe with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the languages and the stories that the Indians before them grew up with.”

4
Multilingual text (currently bilingual) for children in their preteen years or above, that shares stories about storytelling to encourage the practice of storytelling
