- **Event Name**: Women at the Helm: Navigating Fear and Risk in the Storm
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 06:45 pm
- **Event Description**: (Feb. 23 update: Due to the winter weather, this Speaker Event has been postponed and rescheduled for next Monday, March 2.)

Storm stories are the heart of the genre of sea-going narratives. Join folklorist Amy Skillman on Monday, Feb. 23, in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum's Van Lennep Auditorium, or virtually, to explore the storm stories of women, which are more often tales of communion with, rather than conquest of, the sea. Their view of the shore from the sea offers new imaginaries to counter the forces threatening the ocean.

This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Amy Skillman is a folklorist whose work occurs at the intersection of culture and tension, where paying attention to culture can serve to mediate social change and foster cultural equity. She advises artists and community-based organizations on the implementation of programs that honor and conserve their cultural traditions, guides them to potential resources, and works with them to build their capacity to sustain these initiatives.

For over 20 years, Skillman’s work has integrated personal experience narratives of immigrant and refugee women into leadership empowerment initiatives. Working in collaboration with the PA Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Network, she has co-produced an exhibition called Our Voices, a theater piece about Coming to America in the 21 Century, and a reader’s theater called Magnificent Healing, which explores various cultural collisions with our healthcare system. She is currently working with the Susquehanna Folk Music Society to document traditional artists in Central Pennsylvania and create public programming that draws attention to and honors the breadth and depth of their work.
