A cohort of documentarians working to gather cultural & heritage stories in our region meets bi-monthly for exchanges, skill sharing, and conversation. The gatherings aim to strengthen a network of regional narrators to build narrative power and amplify stories about cultural expressions, rituals, occupational culture, and community-building initiatives in the greater Southwest and US-Mexico border region.
The club piloted in 2019 and was halted by the pandemic in 2020. A reboot in 2026 convenes documentary artists to share methods and approaches, create collaborative opportunities, train in folklife documentary methods, and identify key culture and heritage themes, and produce stories in writing, audio, and video.
