Creating art from life stories is a potent process for personal and social transformation. Third Story Window offers openings for people to experience such a process.

Some questions that drive the work:

• Who are we, really?
• What are our gifts and strengths?
• What are our roots?
• What are our unhealed wounds and how do we attend to them so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Sharing our life stories helps us return to our foundations. It helps us learn to understand one another with greater compassion. Sharing stories engages us with the complexity of human nature and relationships; it helps create an alternative to the “either/or” and “us/them” ways of seeing the world that we’re so used to. Sharing stories loosens us up and unlocks possibilities. Third Story Window strives for all of this in our work.
