Refuge Lansing is a storytelling project celebrating decades of refugee resettlement in mid-Michigan. These are stories about families who have fled violence and persecution in their home countries and are now an integral part of the Lansing region – buying homes, starting businesses, sending their children to local schools, and adding to the diverse quilt that makes us such a unique, welcoming community.
The traveling exhibit consists of a book, informational materials, and easy-to-assemble displays (fourteen 20″ x 30″ storyboards with easels). The companion art book is integral to the exhibit, with in-depth stories, photographs and information about resettlement in the Lansing area. We’ll provide ‘display only’ copies for the exhibit, and we’ll have them available at your event for a minimum $25 donation to any of our four partner refugee agencies
