The Culture Keepers

A Bay Area Storytelling Project

The Culture Keepers brings together visionary artists with trusted storytellers to document how cultural work shapes a sense of belonging, offers respite across communities, inspires and shapes our world, and builds shared power in the region. By offering a unique look into the practices, lives, and communities of Bay Area artists and creatives, The Culture Keepers invites each of us to ask: how are we tending to the culture that makes the Bay Area a place we love?

Resident Storytellers

We invite leading storytellers, journalists, writers, and filmmakers who are trusted and beloved in their communities to produce stories in various mediums – film, audio, photos, audio interviews, and written word. Our resident storytellers operate with respect, humility, and a deep sense of responsibility for how stories travel.
