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.

We are also actively seeking sponsorship to cover the cost of the event. Any extra revenue will go towards supporting the work of Refugee Council USA.
