Reimagining Refuge: An Evening of Art, Community and Conversation

Welcome to Reimagining Refuge: An Evening of Art, Community and Conversation! Join us for a night filled with creativity and meaningful dialogue as a group of local artists leads us to reimagine refuge. What does it mean to find refuge? To be refuge? Supported by a cohort of local institutions and organizations, the event explores ways to respond to and think beyond the current situation impacting migrant communities. The evening will include live theatre, art installations, and musical performances as well as interactive opportunities for conversation and prompts for creative action. Come and join us as we imagine a better future for our community!

Tickets are free. Donations will be accepted at the event and shared among the participating artists.
