StoryCorps Comes to Fort Worth: Conversations That Last

This December, the StoryCorps Mobile Booth parks at Keith House on the Trinity River, turning a gleaming Airstream into a space where North Texans can record stories that matter. From December 3 to 19, visitors can share conversations that will live on in the Library of Congress and, in many cases, on local KERA broadcasts.

StoryCorps, a national nonprofit founded in 2003, has helped more than half a million Americans tell their stories. Two people sit together, guided by a trained facilitator, to talk about who they are, what they’ve learned and what they want future generations to remember. Each session becomes part of the country’s living archive—a reminder that ordinary voices carry extraordinary wisdom.

Keith House, home to James Turrell’s Come to Good Skyspace, offers the perfect backdrop. “Keith House was designed as a space for North Texans to reflect and find connection,” says Adelaide Leavens, President of the Meta Alice Keith Bratten Foundation. “That goal is so aligned with StoryCorps’ mission, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to help capture and preserve voices from Fort Worth and North Texas.”

Reservations to record are open at storycorps.org. Sessions often fill fast, but everyone can follow the journey at @keratx and @storycorps on social media.

Support for the Fort Worth stop comes from the Rainwater Foundation.

For Keith House, this partnership extends its mission to connect people through art, reflection and shared experience. The Skyspace continues to invite guests to slow down, look inward and now share their story with the world.
