Last week, four members of our Justice for Immigrants program, Silvia, Ciria, Antioneta, and Angeles led a workshop titled “Memoria y Archivo” – “Memory and Archive” at the Mexican Consulate. The session began with a guided meditation inviting participants to create a narrative about a place in their mind. Participants then worked on art projects that encouraged reflection on how we understand and tell the stories of where we come from.
As part of the workshop, we printed photos of our homes onto fabric pieces that will be sewn together, symbolizing how our homes, stories, and lives are connected. ~submitted by Amelia Scdoris, Justice for Immigration Coordinator, Cabrini Immigrant Services, NYC
