Folktales

Folktales

Storytelling is common to every culture and tales handed down through generations have the power to hold important meaning and symbolism. In this series, our exploration of myths, fables, fairytales, nursery rhymes and idioms opens the discussion on how these mythical qualities can be interpreted today.

These works are less about the historical significance of the tale but rather, the symbolic interpretation that the clues in these narratives offer. The stories are fascinating, beautiful and threatening and play an important role in knowledge transfer and personality development, having the power to influence a person's perception, attitude, behavior, and many other factors important to our societies.
