Sarah Fox
HOOD RIVER — Sarah Fox, creator of the “Hear in the Gorge” podcast and curator and host of the Sense of Place lecture series, recently received the Community Storytelling Fellowship, Oregon Humanities announced Feb. 8. The award is granted annually to Oregonians from communities that are underrepresented in Oregon media.
Each of this year’s seven fellows will receive $5,000 to support a storytelling project focused on or created in collaboration with their communities.
As a multimedia producer, Fox’s work has appeared on Oregon Public Broadcasting in addition to film and audio stories for businesses, nonprofits, Northwest Tribes, governmental agencies, and individuals. Her work has included wide-ranging topics like tribal fishing, Woody Guthrie, avant-garde art, vegan trailblazers and river restoration.
“Her commitment to the rural communities of the Gorge reflect her own upbringing in Oregon,” said an Oregon Humanities press release. “As a fellow, Sarah plans to share stories about the working lives of people in Hood River County.”
The resulting stories will be shared in Oregon Humanities magazine and other publications.
“We hope the stories shared through this fellowship will allow more Oregonians to see their experiences represented, fill information gaps, and encourage readers to work toward a more inclusive and civically engaged state,” said Ben Waterhouse, communications director. “We also hope fellows will develop as storytellers and build connections within their communities.”
This is the third cohort of fellows to be announced since the program began in 2022. Learn more about Fox at sarahfoxhere.com.
