Stories were told even long before we had written language. Some are about the past, some about the present and a possible future. Some tell you wisdom, some victory, some talk about failures or just want to entertain you. Stories are told to make you think. Some move people emotionally, practically and politically.
During the congress we propose to imagine a history that did not happen. We will speculate about woolpunks who did not make it into our history books, who could have been ancestors of the society “we could have been”. Woolpunk congress kicks off with a Shoptalk evening with artists who use storytelling in their works, followed by 2 days of hands-on co-storymaking.
