Part public art, part storytelling project
Dímelo (“tell me”) is a micro-storytelling project exploring identity, community and the cultural geography of Tucson. We ask you to share your experiences and then put them at the center of local reporting.
Share your story by sending us a postcard. We use an old medium, to help us tell the story of the future.
As Tucson rapidly approaches a population of 1 million, its demographics and urban geography are changing. What is the impact of this dramatic shift on our local communities?
Through sharing personal stories, we’re taking a community-driven look at the things that matter today to Tucsonans, across local lines.
Can we stay a big city that feels like a small town?
How will we adapt, together?
Let’s spark a conversation.
