Oral history is as American as fry bread. However, capturing its profundity is another thing altogether.
Sound artist Armando Estrada is assembling an immersive workshop this Saturday celebrating San Antonio’s culture and heritage. Through discussions and hands-on activities, participants will learn basic audio recording techniques and explore the process of collecting and archiving oral histories.
Estrada will later share the recordings on his 101.5 FM radio program The Empower House or via a community listening party.
Due to popular demand, this workshop is only offered on two other dates in addition to Feb. 28 — March 18 and May 16. Slots are filling up fast, and registration is required.
Free, 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, Central Library — Latino Collection & Resource Center, 600 Soledad St., (210) 207-2519, mysapl.org.Â
