Community Roots

An ongoing community-based oral history project with artist talks, workshops, and performances inspired by the wisdom of local artists, activists, and organizers.

Community Roots is an ongoing community-based oral history project featuring artists, activists, and organizers who share beauty and belonging during times of turmoil and struggle. These community members help us imagine what is possible in bold and urgent ways. Project participants learn interviewing techniques, gather community stories, and help explore: What threads from the past are woven into how we organize and create, here in the South Sound today?

Contact Memory Activist, Elaine Vradenburgh, elaine@windowseatmedia.org if you are interested in participating or collaborating.
