ACHF Arts Access
1. Artist participants will increase their capacity to impact the world through cinema arts. 2. Screening audience feedback will reflect that the audience built empathy for asylum seekers in the Twin Cities. And the curated discussion will provide at least three tangible next- steps for organizers to improve future Refugee Voices programming and events, which they will keep interested participants informed of throughout the implementation process. Our Board-level evaluator Ishwari Rajak will observe the screening event, record the conversation and assess completed films and the post-screening community conversation to determine the extent that participants felt more engaged and able to creatively express their subject-matter through their artist partnership. Written surveys will also be made available at the screening for those who wish to write their feedback instead and email follow-ups will be sent to participants after the event for further feedback and discussion.
A refugee artist / artist-in-exile from Aleppo, Syria animated and scored a short documentary film. We provided this professional growth opportunity paid at a fair, professional Artist wage. A refugee activist from Rwanda wrote and directed a human rights documentary produced by professional artists. Screening was delayed due to Covid-19.
