We invite you to join us as we explore what “storytelling for change” really looks like. With different screenings, workshops and events happening each month, there’s always something to dive into.
STORYTELLING FOR CHANGE
NEXT SESSION:
Wednesday, August 5th @ 12:00 PM ET
Join us for the next Storytelling for Change session with Anthony Ochieng Onyango. Anthony, founder of the TonyWild Foundation, seeks to inform his viewers about wildlife conservation and decolonization in an effort to reshape fear-based narratives around the natural world.
“Growing up in Kenya, wildlife and nature were always part of my life. From drawing animals on a sketchpad as a boy in Nairobi and Kisumu, to chairing the Wildlife Club at Moi University, where I studied Wildlife Management, the natural world was never far from me. Nature was, and still is, my safe space.”
“Conservation storytelling has long been shaped by a romanticized, "Africa as destination" lens, one that too often pushes local people and conservation practitioners to the margins of the frame. This talk traces my own journey as a storyteller, questioning that framing: my why, the uncomfortable process of decolonizing not just how I think about conservation but how I tell stories about it, and the ethical questions I keep returning to, who am I telling this story for, and why? I'll share where that journey started, where it's led me, and what's next. At the heart of it is a case for community-led conservation storytelling not as a niche approach, but as a necessary starting point for anyone telling a story, even one rooted in their own community.”
