*The Centre for Community-Engaged Narrative Arts (CCENA) aims to support and sustain art-based community listening, remembering and story-making by linking community storymakers with print, digital, visual, aural or other types of platforms. We seek to collaborate with those communities, in Hamilton and beyond, to work in the service of community memory, sustainability and creativity.
