Immigrant stories are a significant part of American history, but are often ignored or silenced. This storytelling workshop led by Dzidzor will create an opportunity to bring awareness to the immigrant experience in America. Through writing exercises, world-building, games, and visual art, participants will create a written narrative inspired by their own relationship and journey to the American land.
