Barrio Stories is a celebration of the history and heritage of Arizona’s historic Mexican-American neighborhoods. Conceived by Borderlands Theater in 2015, the project is an ongoing site-specific series intended to preserve and reflect the stories, people, and places that made these barrios so vital to the cultural fabric of the Southwest.
Barrio Stories is made possible in part thanks to Southwest Folklife Alliance as partner and sponsor through a grant from ArtPlace America and the Confluence Center Fronteridades project.
