Andreea Kindryd's Glebe Stories Project

Andreea Kindryd Andreea Kindryd

Colbourne Ave presents a night of stories about our suburb, in one of it's many beautiful spaces.  The Glebe Stories will be coordinated by local storyteller Andreea Kindryd, a 75 year old African American Australian who has told her stories internationally.  After "From Slavery To Star Trek", a personal history beginning in Mississippi and ending in Hollywood, Andreea decided to work on stories about her current home - Glebe.

She has interviewed locals and ex-locals to extract a personal and cultural history of Glebe, full of people, food, amenities, good things, not so good things, likes, secrets, and gossip.  This is part of the Story Project which will be visiting other suburbs as well. The stories will be videoed and put into a data base so that they can be accessed by topic or feelings.  Glebe is the first stage of the project, and we will have stories from long time residents and rent arrivals, people who grew up, went to school or worked in Glebe.   A few are professional story tellers and the rest just people with a story to tell.  We all have stories and when an elder dies a library is lost.
