The stories behind meaningful objects – Brian Lim

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

On October 24, Mass Humanities hosted “The Future of Storytelling” workshop in Boston at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Grantees were encouraged to bring in meaningful objects and share their significance with the group, focusing on the influence of these items on their work in the culture and nonprofit sectors.

Here, Brian Lim of The Flavor Continues explains how receiving a set of Ultimate Breaks and Beats records from a legendary DJ shaped his experience in the break dance community.
