Building Community Resilience Through Refugee-Led Art

A Traveling Collection

How We Work With Institutions

• National collection curated around the U.S. migration journey—historic, contemporary, and community-led.

• Local loans from host-city museums, universities, and galleries—so every stop is locally relevant.

• Education layer: lesson kits, webinars, and talks extend learning beyond the gallery.

• Co-produce from day one with community partners.

• Align programs with local curriculum, public engagement, and inclusion.

• Measure from the start—attendance, audience diversity, and learning outcomes—so learning is impact, not just interest.

Our Mission

We create spaces—physical and digital—where experiences preserve cultural heritage, share stories, and strengthen resilience.

What We Do

• Commission new works led by refugee and migrant artists.

• Curate touring exhibitions across U.S. cities and online platforms.

• Develop hands-on lesson kits used by schools, libraries, and community programs.

• Build bridges between museums, schools, and community organizations.

Our Impact

• Amplify public understanding of migration through humane narratives.

• Foster empathy by centering first-person refugee stories.

• Create professional opportunities for emerging refugee and migrant artists.

• Measure what matters—attendance, diversity, learning outcomes—with semi-annual reporting as we scale.

• They came from every corner of the world — from Lebanon to Mexico, from Nigeria to Japan — not through recruitment campaigns, but through shared purpose.

• Most of our team members are women and young professionals. Several identify as LGBTQ+, others come from migrant or refugee backgrounds.

• Each one contributes not only skills but lived experiences that shape our mission: to make empathy tangible through art, research, and education.

• Together, they embody what the UN Sustainable Development Goals call for — inclusion, equality, peace, and global partnerships.
