Amplifying community voices, learning from neighborhood stories, and interrupting narratives of erasure in Seattle's Central District.

Donations to Shelf Life are tax-deductible through our Fiscal Sponsor, Northwest Film Forum. This link will take you directly to their online donation page for this project. 

Additional funding will enable us to:

1) Finish a book of Shelf Life stories illustrated by Central District artists.

2) Continue paying artists of color to record and edit stories and create art inspired by the stories we record. 

3) Research and strategize the acquisition and retrofitting of a Shelf Life Story Bus that would allow us to take the Shelf Life story booth elsewhere in the neighborhood, like churches and senior centers. 

5) Solicit community feedback to develop creative ways of returning neighborhood stories to the community.
