An update from Questa Stories
Claire Cote
This year we’re continuing our Voices de Aquí series, but changing our approach to sharing these stories. When you’re at Questa Farmers Market keep your eye out for two wooden boxes with headphones each featuring a story and bio of one of our community members. These listening units are fun, interactive ways to share stories, learn about and appreciate one another and get to know our community a little better.
We’re collaborating with Questa Library to develop a Community Memory Lab and Archive onsite at the Library as well. We're gathering equipment and strategizing on ways it can serve. Get in touch if you'd like to be involved with this! Questa Stories has also been attending local events recording audio, video and taking photos and adding this documentation to the community archive at QuestaStories.org and on harddrives at Questa Library and soon to be added to the Manitos Community Memory Archive (expected to go live soon).
In the coming months we’re looking forward to offering hands-on photography and cyanotype story workshops in local schools in collaboration with local photographer, Jamey Bryant.
We continue to improve and add content to our website QuestaSories.org. Visit us there and @questastories on Instagram and Facebook
