49 Stories

826 Valencia - The Pirate Store
826 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA

March 6 | 4–7 m
49 Stories



"Please join us for an evening of interactive storytelling as we launch “49 Stories,” the result of a collaboration between students from John O’Connell High School, new media artists JD Beltran + Scott Minneman, author Stephen Elliott, and 826 Valencia.

Student authors will read their work from this exciting new project, which
allows viewers to immerse themselves in stories throughout the 49-square-mile geography of San Francisco by interacting with a “story table” that fuses maps, text, images, and even the storytellers’ own voices.

The event is free to attend and promises to be an engaging and enlightening celebration of the art of storytelling. “49 Stories” will be exhibited at 826 Valencia from noon to 6 pm every day, from March 6th through March 20th."
