Online Exhibition

As you experience the exhibition, we invite you to consider the paths your own family has traveled, and the legacy of strength, sacrifice, and hope passed down through generations. Reflect on the journeys of your elders—whether they crossed borders or overcame obstacles closer to home—and how their pursuit of a better life, a place of belonging, and a sense of home resonates within your own story. In doing so, you will find connections to the broader human narrative of migration, resilience, and the desire to create a meaningful future.
