The Journey
Project Statement
Survival, resilience, and renewal are the common threads woven through the narrative of the human journey. ARRIVALS: What’s Left Behind, What Lies Ahead, shares the compelling stories of individuals who are foundational to our global society and which help us to create a more shared future.
Through intentional dialog and the lens of a large format camera, participants invite us into their personal lives as they share the reasons for leaving or being forced from their homelands. They draw the audience into their world with the challenges they faced, their arrival to a new place, and the loss of what was left behind.
By sharing these firsthand accounts this project seeks to inspire engagement and dialogue within every community, locally, nationally and globally.
Behind the Scenes
In 2019, we traveled 1,600 miles across Southern Idaho to interview and photograph refugees, immigrants, displaced Native Americans, and diaspora. To make the most meaningful image possible requires time and patience. These photos depict some of what went into creating the images.
