RiffRaff Arts Collective is creating sweeping, cinematic music videos featuring original songs by artists in our community—songs that speak to issues they’re passionate about or offer perspectives they hope others will open their hearts to. These videos serve as a catalyst for community dialogue, relationship-building, and a culture of listening.

The project empowers community members to share their stories and raise their voices. Featured songs center on themes of change and empowerment, while accompanying docushorts explore the issues that inspired them. These works are showcased and followed by discussions at City Hall during council meetings, on WVVA’s Sunday morning program In Focus, WOAY’s Community Forum, and at special community conversations in various locations. See the schedule below for upcoming discussions.
