The Chester Gifted Program

Public Listening Session & Community Storytelling Workshop

Experience Engineered Grace, Vol. 1, a new audio project from The Chester Gifted Program that centers Chester’s voices, stories, and ongoing fight for environmental justice.

Chris Rogers will lead a public listening session followed by a hands-on multimedia storytelling workshop. Participants will explore accessible tools for recording, documenting, and sharing their own experiences, while learning about a growing community field-recording archive created to preserve and amplify stories from Chester.

No previous recording or storytelling experience is needed. Come to listen, learn, contribute, and connect.

Free and open to the community. All proceeds from the digital EP release will support urgent, ongoing environmental justice organizing led by CRCQL.

This project is supported by Haverford College.
