About Story Loomers, a storytelling community in Kolkata

Vision · Where stories find their weave

Story Loomers exists to nurture a space where every individual, across generations, can tell, share, listen to and experience stories that connect us to ourselves, to one another and to the world around us.

An invitation to every kind of storyteller

We are building an inclusive platform to tell, listen to, share, explore and create stories. Story Loomers sits where culture, storytelling, community, personal development and leadership meet.

  1. Everyone has a story.

  2. Every story matters.

  3. Stories connect us.

When we listen to another person’s story, we see the world through their eyes. When we tell our own, we understand ourselves a little better.

Ashade

An evening of gloriously tall tales

“Ashade golpo” is what Bengalis call a story too wonderful to be true. Chandril Bhattacharya spins a set of them, live.

চেনা গল্পকে, কল্পনা আর বাস্তবের সীমানা মুছে চন্দ্রিল বাবু শ্রোতাদের নিয়ে যাবেন এক নতুন ভাবনার জগতে। গল্প বলার জাদু, কথার মায়া আর কল্পনার অনন্য মেলবন্ধনে অপেক্ষা করছে এক আশ্চর্য অভিজ্ঞতা। সেই গল্পের জাদুতে সামিল হতে চলে আসুন ‘আষাঢ়ে’ অনুষ্ঠানে। একেবারেই অভিনব এই অনুষ্ঠানটি এমনই এক অভিজ্ঞতা, যা আপনি ইউটিউবেও খুঁজে পাবেন না। যা ইউটিউবে নেই, সেই অনন্য অভিজ্ঞতা ‘আষাঢ়ে’ তেই।

The transformation

From “I’m not sure how” to “I have found my voice”

Before Story Loomers

“I have experiences, ideas and things I want to express, but I’m not sure how.”

Through Story Loomers

“I discover, experiment, practise and share.”

After Story Loomers

“I have found my voice, and a community to share it with.”
