We are seeking funds to showcase the immigrant and refugees stories: lives, talents, culture and history beyond survival. Too often the stories of immigrants and refugees are framed in the context of surviving. The problem in those stories is that they miss the richness of the lives of migrants starting in a different country. The multimedia project will work on the stories from several angles, narrative, mural making, written stories, portraits, video and pictures.
