Sanctuary/Sustenance Closing: Youth, Culture, and Assimilation
AWP is excited to announce the photography exhibition Sanctuary/Sustenance: The Story of Many Journeys will close with a poetry and spoken word performance event: Youth, Culture, and Assimilation. This program will explore the delicate process of assimilation as young refugees balance honoring family and societal cultures and traditions from home countries with adapting to a new life in the United States. The process can be both exciting and challenging, as youth often adapt more quickly to new languages and cultural norms, which assists in the assimilation process but can also lead to family tensions, a sense of loss, and uncertainty about belonging.
This program will explore the resettlement process through poetry and spoken words as youth share their journey navigating culture and identity, both from their homeland and in a new country. Please contact Annalise Taylor at ataylor@artworksprojects.org if you are interested in performing.
