Vicarious Vignettes

THE STORIES WE TELL HAVE THE POWER TO BRING US TOGETHER IN A SHARED PASSION.

From the dawn of civilisation, humans have understood themselves and their worlds through story. Seated around fires and together at feasts, narratives made sense of this swiftly spinning world, introducing one to another, connecting across time and space and culture. The stories we tell have the power to bridge divisions of race or ethnicity, gender or sexuality - to bring us together in a shared harmony. To do this, Tolstoy suggests that these are all, in the end, ‘two tales’ - one goes on a journey, or a stranger comes to town.”
