Storyfort events will be buzzing every day of Treefort in various nooks around the city and will be bringing you top-notch authors, poets, journalists, spoken word artists, memoirists, refugee storytellers, podcasters and much more.
One of the featured panels at Treefort 10 will highlight the voices of immigrants and farmworkers and feature ethnic studies professor Dora Ramirez and immigrant rights activist Irene Ruiz. Storyfort will also have events with Idaho Prison Arts Collective and the game of TELEPHONE: An International Arts Game.
