Share Your Porch Story
Aitina Fareed-Cooke originally developed the Tales from the Porch project in 2019 as an opportunity to break stereotypes and amplify the voices of members of the Buffalo, NY community through the use of creative arts. Since then there has been 4 iterations of the Tales from the Porch project and have been shared through exhibitions, screenings, performances, social media, presentations and workshops to thousands of community members across the country and beyond.
Take a moment to share your porch story so that we can continue to amplify voices within our community.

"We all have our porches. Our platforms from which we share our stories. Our lives. From these porches we learn perspectives. We learn of the varying commonalities and complexities that exist, human to human.
As we exchange these tales, we share our hopes, fears, and dreams. Together we discover the beautiful weight of reality which is that we are all human. Different, yet the same." - Aitina Fareed-Cooke
