Stories are living and breathing things

Imagine a large banyan tree, its roots completely interconnected. Imagine a sea of stories, with infinite, colourful, and entangled story threads, that tell stories of hope, resilience, agency, change, of complexities, and diverse emotions, of people and their lives.

Welcome to the StoryBeings festival

The StoryBeings Festival amplifies voices from marginalized communities, using digital storytelling to share powerful, personal journeys. Celebrating resilience, identity, and creativity, the festival breaks down barriers and invites audiences to see the world through new perspectives. It’s more than a festival—it’s a movement for empathy and inclusivity.
