Saturday, April 22, 1-3pm
This very special program is a meet and greet with Uptown’s refugee community. Please join ART WORKS Projects at the Bezazian Branch Library for a community gathering and conversation about welcoming refugee and immigrant families to Uptown and how these communities support and enhance neighborhoods across Chicago. To accompany the conversation, AWP will show a mobile version of their current photography exhibition Sanctuary/Sustenance which traces the refugee journey from home through conflict and displacement to resettlement in five U.S. cities. Bezazian's children's librarian will also facilitate a children's art activity during the conversation. Representatives from the Chinese Mutual Aid Association and the Syrian Community Network will be on hand to participate in the discussion and dialog.
