The Stories of Us combines a citywide public art exhibition featuring 25 large-scale Talking Drum sculptures with the launch of a new storytelling platform that enables residents to easily share their stories in their own voices. The initiative invites residents to share their experiences, hopes, and perspectives as part of a nationwide effort to reflect on America's past and imagine its future during the country's 250th anniversary. Together, the public art installation and storytelling platform will create a living archive of community experiences, ensuring that diverse voices and personal histories help shape the conversation about the nation's next chapter.
