My Journey
2016
In partnership with the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers and Queen Elizabeth High School, My Journey explored through collage, painting and drawing, the stories of newcomer youth in Edmonton, Canada. Over a period of 12 weeks, we explored stories that touched on the things they missed the most from their countries of origin, hopes and fears for life in Canada, and their personal desires as they move into adulthood. The final work was installed in the Art Gallery of Alberta's TD Education Gallery.
