Opening Reception for Repair, Refuge, & Resilience: Work from the 2022 Narratio Fellowship
Presented in partnership with ReEstablish Richmond
Narratio activates, supports, and highlights the creative expression of displaced young people through fellowships, workshops, publishing, and collaborations with partners in the arts, education, and media. Our community is cultivated through our flagship Narratio Fellowship, which connects artists to cohorts of resettled refugee youth fellows to explore and represent the full range of their experiences through multimedia storytelling.
Through a year-long program, Fellows work with artists and program directors to develop and share stories across contexts, media, languages. The program begins with a month-long summer workshop series and culminates in two key gatherings: a trip to New York City where Fellows showcase their work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a comprehensive physical exhibit and performance in their local communities. In addition to providing youth fellows at educational transition points with academic mentorship and advising through partnerships with schools and universities, the Fellowship is designed to encourage and prepare alumni to shape the program’s growth and sustainability.
