SUMMARY:Story Cart with Symphony Swan – Stills in Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 11\, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\n\n\n\nFruition MKE\, 819 N 27th St\, Milwaukee\, WI 53208\n\n\n\nFree and open to the public\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nC21’s Story Cart project and C21 Story Fellow Symphony Swan present Stills in Milwaukee\, a radical attention workshop and portrait session with photographer Terrance Sims. \n\n\n\nStills in Milwaukee is a documentary-style photography project aimed at capturing the diverse stories and voices of locals around the city. It’s an exploration of the people who shape the everyday life of Milwaukee\, and the nuances that make this place so unique. Guests are invited to bring an artifact that represents them and their story. Guests will share their artifact in conversation with the photographer\, who will craft individual portraits in response.  \n\n\n\nStills in Milwaukee is about active listening as much as it is about portraiture. Terrance Sims will spend time with his subjects\, hear their stories\, and allow space for the moments to unfold naturally. The goal is not to rush through\, but to take a deliberate approach that will bring out deeper narratives. Each image\, each conversation\, is an opportunity for reflection and connection. \n\n\n\nThis method is integral to the work’s authenticity. The beauty of Milwaukee lies not just in its landmarks\, but in its people—often in the quiet\, overlooked spaces. By taking the time to truly engage with his subjects and let the photos emerge over time\, Sims hopes to create a more genuine\, reflective portrayal of the city. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the guest artist for this event has changed from Samuel Allen to Terrance Sims. The event’s format will remain the same. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Symphony Swan\n\n\n\nSymphony Swan Zawadi is an artist\, cultural strategist\, and founder of THE CR8TV HOUSE\, an arts and community institution reimagining space\, storytelling\, support and memory keeping for Black and Brown creatives. With over a decade of experience spanning arts education\, nonprofit leadership\, and philanthropy\, Symphony brings a deep commitment to equity\, imagination\, and community care.   \n\n\n\nSymphony channels her interdisciplinary expertise into building creative ecosystems that honor legacy\, foster healing\, and invest in future generations. Her work has earned her recognition as the 2023 Milwaukeean of the Year by Shepherd Express\, 2024 Gener8tor Art Fellowship Recipient and most recently the 2025 City of Milwaukee Friends of the Arts. She also serves as a trustee for the Milwaukee Art Museum. She continues to advocate for artist-led systems change that reflect the communities they serve.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Story Cart\n\n\n\nStory Cart is a mobile story collection program that travels to community spaces and engages Milwaukeeans in conversations about their lived experiences. Our Story Fellows craft questions related to the current C21 research theme\, record participant responses to those questions\, and add them to our Story Cart digital archive (forthcoming). Supported by the Wisconsin Institute for Citizenship and Civil Dialogue\, Story Cart’s current run introduces Milwaukeeans to practices of radical attention. From September 2025 through May 2026\, our community Story Fellows will lead workshop pop-ups throughout the city and will record discussions with participants about the experience of paying attention.
