Ozark Storytelling Residency
Written By Chloë Greene
We just wrapped the inaugural Ozark Storytelling Residency, a partnership between TAAS and Mount Sequoyah Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Artists came from as far as Johannesburg, South Africa to spend two weeks in deep studio time, field trips, and workshops exploring what storytelling means when it's rooted in a specific place.
The residency wrapped with a free public showcase on July 4th, with work scattered across the mountain — installations in trees, sound pieces, textile work pulled from the textures of the land itself.
KUAF's Ozarks at Large stopped by to cover it. Tune in to hear from the artists themselves on what two weeks of in-person collaboration (with a full year of TAAS online community still ahead) can do.
