About the Project: Building Resilience with Refugee Communities

Building Resilience, One Story at a Time

Exodus and Resilience was founded on a simple belief: no one should face displacement alone.

We partner with refugee leaders to design programs that meet urgent needs while building sustainable futures. Our work spans education, housing, mental health care, and cultural exchange — always rooted in dignity, empowerment, and hope.

Our Mission

We create spaces, both physical and digital, where refugees can preserve cultural heritage, share stories, and strengthen resilience.

Our mission is to honor the past while building the future.

What We Do

  • Commission new works by refugee and migrant artists

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

  • Develop hands-on lesson plans that help educators explore migration through art and lived experiences

Our Impact
  • Amplify awareness of migration’s human realities through public programs

  • Foster empathy by connecting audiences with first-person refugee stories

  • Create professional opportunities for emerging refugee and migrant artists

Why
Exodus & Resilience Will Matter

We believe migration stories must be told by those who live them.

When refugee voices lead the narrative, collective memory shifts, influencing policy, building empathy, and inspiring action.

Exodus and Resilience creates lasting connections between artists and audiences, past and future, and across cultures.
