AHA! Night - I AM NB: Storytelling Series Part II
Hear the lesser-known stories of New Bedford during AHA! Night, I AM NB on March 13, 2025. This is the second of a two-part storytelling series highlighting the important, unknown, or under-told stories of the city’s past and present shared through spoken word, music, art, film, and more, with a special focus on Women’s History Month. This month’s AHA! Night is sponsored by Hawthorn Medical.
After an engaging storytelling experience in February, Gallery X will once again host a Moth-style storytelling night organized by AHA! and the New Bedford Historical Society. It will feature youth storytellers (5-5:30 pm), curated tales from Lee Blake, Jan Da Silva, Liz DiCarlo, Hendrick Hernandez-Resto, Juli Parker, and a duo from Your Theatre (5:30-6:30 pm), followed by an open mic hour. You’ll hear stories about college desegregation, finding birth parents, the largest attempted rescue of enslaved people, and many more. Spoken word poet Jamilyn Soares will host the evening. Singer/songwriter Sarah Donner will be the “house band,” providing music for the program. Come early and stay late to enjoy the new Gallery X exhibition Polar Opposites.
AHA! partners across downtown will also host events exploring the stories of New Bedford. Check the AHA! website for more details.
