South Bay, and the Bay Area, is changing rapidly. People are moving in and out faster than ever, new places are opening up and establishments are closing down, neighborhoods are shifting dramatically year to year. We’re adding new stories that weren’t possible before, and losing history and memories that could only happen here. To address this More Más Marami Arts is starting the Bay Area Story Archive (BASA). BASA is a community based, accessible audio archive made up of the stories that make up the South Bay. Submissions are open to everyone and anyone, as long as the story happens here. 

In the long term we plan on creating an interactive map so that you can click on a place and here the stories connected to it, and further down the line physical story boxes around the South Bay. 

If you are interested in becoming involved, we need translators and story recorders, please give send us an email at more.mas.marami.arts@gmail.com or send us a DM on any of our social media handles, links are at the bottom of the page.
