September marks the launch of an exciting local storytelling campaign.
Community Conversations: Exploring What Matters to Our Neighbors is a grassroots, community-led initiative designed to explore the values, histories, and everyday experiences that define the residents of the Grand Traverse Region. The project highlights personal stories to foster deeper neighborly connections and document common ground among diverse community members.
The initiative —campaign of Leelanau Indivisible implemented by a group of citizens called the “Persisters”— features an exhibit of photos and life stories of sixteen individuals of varied backgrounds and beliefs, that will be displayed in three venues. All residents are invited to enjoy the exhibits in September and October, and by perusing the Leelanau Indivisible website where they can read full transcripts, hear audio recordings of the interviews, or download a digital booklet.
