Amplifying Cultural Communities

EchoX is dedicated to advocating for digital equity, using technology and storytelling to uplift and amplify the voices of the Northwest’s diverse cultural communities.

EchoX believes every cultural community should be seen, heard, and valued

Amplifying Cultural Communities means making these voices stronger, increasing their visibility, and ensuring their stories are shared and celebrated. By using digital tools and the power of storytelling, we help diverse communities connect with a broader audience and make a lasting impact. Our online cultural resource center does this through these key initiatives:

Voices

A curated digital newsfeed featuring stories and articles that amplify diverse community voices, sharing thoughtful narratives about culture, heritage, and identity.

Directory

A centralized listing of cultural community resources, including organizations, groups, and artists. Connect with local resources and artists in your community!

Digitize

A youth-driven program providing a supportive environment for teens and young adults to collaborate on multimedia storytelling, build digital literacy, and amplify their voices.

Calendar

A community-powered calendar featuring local public event listings and cultural activities. Curious about what to do this weekend? Explore the events in your area!

Sarah Goh
From International Examiner (by Sarah Goh) – The UW’s Khmer Language Program, one of only seven in the US, faces an uncertain future at the end of this academic year.
From DIGITIZE (by Yaslynn Makein) – “I’m okay,” she says as she pieces together a soft smile.

I’ve heard my mother say things were okay for years, but I knew it was never true. Staying in motels and shelters, my mother disappearing for days without a word, holding our breath when my (now former) stepfather walked through the door. These weren’t things to be okay with, but to my mother they were. At least, that’s what I thought.
MOHAI, PEMCO Webster & Stevens Collection
From MOHAI – From the collections of MOHAI, look into the long history of the Chinese lion dance in Seattle.
From DIGITIZE (by Jehan Hashi) – During a period of heightened racial uprisings in the segregated 1960s, Martin Luther King Jr. asserted in one of his most revered writings, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” In other words, the struggle for freedom is communal.
