A tapestry of local voices, stories, and extraordinary experiences from the community!

Folktales of the Bronx is an interactive digital archive that honors the Bronx’s deep oral storytelling traditions through a creative lens. Blending the legacy of the griot and hip-hop, this project invites Bronx residents to share their personal folktales, myths, and miraculous experiences through a community hotline. Each story is available to stream on this website, where it’s paired with vibrant and abstract visuals, creating a tapestry of local voices and artistic expression. Like crate-digging, Folktales of the Bronx brings together diverse narratives to preserve the essence of Bronx culture and inspire a new generation of storytelling.
