A poetic interpretation of each storyteller was written by Aitina Fareed-Cooke
This porch stood in the middle of hope and hopelessness
This porch watched violent hearts snatch lives and left behind the remains of broken hearts
This porch witnessed sisterhood, motherhood, love, commitment and purity
This porch collected memories that engineered bricks that are used to build young minds
This porch is the threshold, the beginning point into your own journey
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.
