FOLKLORE is powerful. We create lore. Lore creates us. It is spoken, it is lived, it is our material and imagined worlds.

Our speaker this month is originally from Michigan, now living and creating in Melbourne, Megan Davis considers herself a citizen of the world. She has been discovering stories since 2012, specialising in narrative strategy and storytelling for businesses that are daring to create new realities and futures. She is now working at a management consulting firm crafting narratives and communications for businesses in the corporate and public sectors.

But before all of this, she studied how folklore designed our present and future belief systems.

This interactive talk explored how the stories we believe today are putting us on a path to a future of possibility. Can we design our own piece of folklore in 20 minutes?Thanks to our generous local sponsors BrightStar and Shayna Burns for supporting our speakers with presentation and SEO coaching, Shadowhouse Music for the original music composition, and Offline Supply Co for the sweet notebooks.
