Description:

Calling all artists!

We invite poets, storytellers, singer-songwriters, etc. to share their stories through any form of performance art. The theme of the event is “Home, Safe and Sound”.

Performers can be refugees, asylees, Dreamers, TPS holders, partners/colleagues working in immigration advocacy work, integration, or anyone who wants to share a story that touches on the concept of home and how it relates to those seeking a safe place to call their own.
