Exhibition Opening and Reception: April 30, 2025
Mayerson Auditorium, Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati
Time: TBA
Beginning in the summer of 2024 and continuing through the spring of 2025, clients of CCSWO’s Refugee Resettlement and Su Casa programs participated in a photo workshop provided by New Voices. Clients used point and shoot cameras to document their experiences and impressions of their newly adopted country. After selecting favorite images, clients shared their thoughts about their experiences in recorded interviews. The exhibition will feature images from each participant along with excerpts from their interviews.
New American Neighbors is part of Catholic Charities of Southwest Ohio’s annual immigration awareness event.
