A Conversation

The Listening Lab is an opportunity for community members to find common ground, share experiences, record oral histories, and to tell the stories of Northwest Arkansas natives and transplants in their own voices so we may be more aware of our similarities, rather than our differences.

KUAF wishes to create the opportunity for listening and sharing, without distraction and without outside influence. KUAF believes in the impact of listening and creating spaces where people can share openly and without fear of reprisal or judgement. Additionally, KUAF will have a mobile Listening Lab unit that can be installed at other sites to record conversations in locations across the KUAF listening area - reaching from the Arkansas River Valley to McDonald County in Missouri, from Eastern Oklahoma to Carroll County in Arkansas.

The Listening Lab is made possible by funding from the Walmart Foundation through its Creating Community in Northwest Arkansas through Bridging and Belonging initiative.
