Childhood, Interrupted (2024)

Our event – Childhood, interrupted – was a collaboration among the students from stitched studio! at The Creative School, and the storysharers, around whose lived expertise the show is developed. This investigative journalism show worked in tandem with these three storysharers whose childhood experiences in foster care and as crown wards gave us insight into the harsh realities and histories of the Canadian childcare system. 

The summer showcase of Childhood, Interrupted presented a revamped version of the initial show while drawing deeper connections with the audience to engage in dialogue and produce a communal Call-To-Action document, allowing audiences to remain engaged with the subject matter in various capacities.
