Refugee Experience Class Hosts Exhibit

Last week, students from Hawken's fall Intensive, The Refugee Experience, held an opening for a photography exhibit called "Voices Worth Hearing, Art Worth Sharing."
Sponsored by the Refugee Services Collaborative (RSC), the "innovative multi-media exhibit” features “three award-winning photographers [who] were embedded in the daily lives and experiences of local [refugee] families, capturing their joys, challenges and transplanted cultures on film.”

The opening program for the exhibit included a presentation by students in the The Refugee Experience class, and a keynote address by Luanne Bole-Becker, the exhibit’s producer. This spring, as an extension of the course, students are tutoring Burmese refugee children in the evenings.

Read more about the exhibit in an article from cleveland.com, and stop by to see the exhibit, which runs through the end of February.

Learn more about the music, dance, poetry and visual arts heritage of people newly settled in Cleveland through the upcoming CityMusic 10th Anniversary free concert series on March 2, 3 and 16.
