2011 Arizona Humanities Festival: Stories of Us!
Thank you to everyone who attended the inaugural Arizona Humanities Festival: Stories of Us! on Saturday, October 22, 2011, at Civic Space Park, Phoenix.
This year's theme, "Stories of Us," gave us a unique opportunity to reflect on how we connect and better understand the cultures and histories of others. We celebrated these stories through film screenings, performances, storytelling booths, and engaging presentations on topics ranging from Arizona's Apache skateboard culture to the history of Hip Hop.
We hope that the Arizona Humanities Festival provided new ways of defining the humanities, and demonstrated how vital they are to everyday life. The humanities can connects us to others and create meaning of the vibrant, ever-changing world around us. The humanities also give us to tools to ask questions, reflect, and have discussions about the ideas we encounter. Thank you for celebrating the humanities with us, Arizona!
