Sharing our stories. Strengthening our communities.

​Window Seat Media weaves the stories that often go unshared into the fabric of our public life.

About Us
Community Narratives

Support Local Community Oral History & Storytelling

At Window Seat Media, we gather people together to share stories that spark conversation, connection, and social change. We do this because we believe we write our future with the stories we narrate, and we want to co-create a more inclusive, connected, and just world.

That's What Community is All About: An Interactive Theatre & Storytelling Performance

Window Seat will engage the public in one of the origin stories from our Community Roots oral history project, Driftwood Daycare, which was a childcare center at Evergreen founded in 1971. This performance explores project themes of community-based learning, collective organizing, and access to shared space. The exhibit panels and audio stories are on display in the campus Evan's Hall lobby between September 21 - October 18.
