Change takes courage…
The Sparks of Change…
We believe that the arts hold the extraordinary ability to stir emotions, challenge perspectives, and ignite conversations on the most pressing and challenging issues of our time. This is where the sparks of change can ignite, acting as a catalyst for positive social change. The Hairy Godmothers are committed to promoting conversations on hard topics, seeking a shared understanding of our humanity through storytelling. We address these hard topics with boldness and inclusivity, creating a safe and fun platform to have some tough but necessary conversations around life, death, identity, diversity and everything in-between.
