| I’ve Known Rivers: The MoAD Story Project Seeks Hurricane Katrina Entries |
Since its successful launch in December 2005, I’ve Known Rivers: The MoAD Story Project (IKR) – an unprecedented global effort by an international museum to collect, document, publish, produce, and archive "first voice" digital narratives about people of African descent – has published a volume of first-person narratives, poems, and stories from places as diverse as Beijing, Bosnia, Brazil, South
Africa, Asmara, Haiti and San Francisco.
On April 1, the project began accepting new submissions for its second volume of stories. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, hundreds of thousands of people are still homeless, their stories still untold. The second volume of IKR, to be published on June 15, 2006, will feature a section devoted to Hurricane Katrina survivors and their dramatic stories. Deadline for stories - May 15, 2006.
