Multimedia Animal Stories: Creating Community

Join us for a discussion inspired by Juliana's multimedia newsletter and podcast series: Drawing Animals and Conversations with Animals. Learn how you can bring levity to telling stories about animals through doodles, interactive interviews, and informal essays to build a dynamic community around storytelling and promoting representations of animals that go beyond suffering by offering and highlighting new possibilities.
