Experiences of trauma are commonplace in the lives of immigrants, but that does not invalidate or diminish the experiences and narratives of love, found family, resilience, resistance, and friendship. We dive into this conversation with heightened awareness, open ears, and hearts, taking in the ideas presented to us in hopes to learn, offering safe spaces, and creating more welcoming and safer environments for immigrant and refugee populations.Featured Artists: A+J Art + DesignLani AsuncionAllison Maria RodriguezJoanna TamRaquel FornasaroCaron TabbWen Hao TienIaritza MenjivarKledia SpiroBen SpaldingDave OrtegaRaul The ThirdADMISSION: $5; active Museum members are free (use code MEMBER)PARKING: There is no dedicated parking spots at the Museum.
