2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
These events are hosted by Grampian Association of Storytellers in partnership with the Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen. For the full programme click the link above or for bookings please e-mail: elphinstone@abdn.ac.uk or telephone: 01224 272996
