LISTEN-IN TO: THE CORNER: 23RD AND UNION
The Corner was an experiment in community story telling. It was a public radio documentary created with the people who make Seattle’s 23rd and Union part of their lives. During the summer of 2009, community members were asked to call in, listen to stories, and share their own. Callers left more than 200 messages. Their stories collectively depict a rich and complicated place, we invite you listen in.

The Corner is created by Jenny Asarnow with Inye Wokoma, Handsome Murals, Anna Callahan and Joseph Sheedy. It's made possible by Public Radio Maker's Quest 2.0, an initiative of AIR, the Association of Independents in Radio, with funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

This exhibition explores only one culture in this wonderful collection of new neighbors- Seattle’s Ethiopian community. Learn more…
