What is Public Lands: UnEarthed?

Public Lands: UnEarthed is an oral history project designed to document and share the experiences of BIPOC folks on public lands in Washington state. By showcasing these lesser heard pieces of history we hope to encourage our audience to connect with the outdoors and inspire the exchange of knowledge and experiences between more people, and also shows that the outdoors belongs to all of us.

Who is Public Lands: UnEarthed for?

This project is intended to uplift the historical, present, and future experiences of BIPOC individuals in Washington state and beyond!

What can you expect from Public Lands: UnEarthed?

We are collecting interviews from interested BIPOC participants willing to share their stories of BIPOC impact on Washington public lands. We will archive these narratives to keep them accessible to the public far beyond the life of this project, then pair select stories with artists who can bring the accounts to life.
