A poetic interpretation of each storyteller was written by Aitina Fareed-Cooke
This porch is the gathering place of sanctitude, the shared space of hope
This is the porch where we share our stories of war, tears, and truth
The porch where we plant economic seeds of growth and wisdom
This is the porch where fruit is belted together and shared with those who hunger for freedom
This porch is the porch of ambition
Get Fokus’d Productions (GFP) was awarded funding by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) through Arts Services Inc.’s fiscal sponsorship in support of the second iteration of Tales from the Porch. This groundbreaking exhibition amplifies stories told by minority-owned businesses and organizations impacting the Buffalo, NY community.
This project also included support from Buffalo AKG Art Museum and the Patreon members of A.I. The Anomaly.
