To bring awareness to the global refugee crisis, build empathy towards our refugee neighbors in Central MN, and to find ourselves in each other, one photograph at a time. We will use a postcard to gather feedback at the artist talk in August, as well as gathering feedback through our social media promotion of this exhibit.
The specific outcomes of this exhibit were to bring awareness to the global refugee crisis, build empathy towards our refugee neighbors in Central MN, and to find ourselves in each other, one photograph at a time. We gathered written and verbal feedback at the culminating event in August as well as through our social media posts throughout the summer-long project.

The St Cloud community was once all white and Christian. Due to a change in demographics the last couple of decades, that is not the face of this area anymore! Our board reflects the change in this area by having both people of color and white people, people born in America and those that weren’t, and lastly, people representing many faiths: Muslim, Christian, and Jewish.
