		Mizel Museum Digital Storytelling Project In Fall 2008, The Mizel Museum began to build a permanent exhibit of digital stories with members of the Denver Jewish community. We worked with the Center for Digital Storytelling to create a new permanent exhibit with members of the Denver Jewish community. Stories of Resilience was conceived as part of an exploration and interpretation of resilience from the perspective of the storyteller. Framed within the context of resilience, the workshop focused on the life-changing events by creating a narration of how those perceptions altered the participant’s lives. For more information about digital storytelling email the museum, or click below to view the Stories of Resilience. [ More Information ]
