    STORIES from
    Beyond Borders

    WHY
    As a component of our Beyond Borders: Stories of im/Migration exhibition, we hope to move beyond the stereotypes, to grow a compassionate community and to personalize experiences of migration, immigration, assimilation, arrests and deportation. 

    WHO CAN SHARE THEIR STORIES
    Anyone who has personal or observed experiences with migration, immigration, assimilation, arrests  and/or deportation issues within the U.S. or other countries. 

    WHAT KIND OF STORIES
    Why did you migrate?  What was migration like for you?
    Did you choose to leave your home or did the political or environmental situation in our homeland force you to leave? Where did you want to go and why? Did you have a choice as to where you went? What happened during immigration? How were you received in your new country?  Did you feel secure in your new country?  Were you able to create the new life you imagined? How did you and your family assimilate? What kind of resources did you find helpful?  What were/are the challenges? Do you feel that your new community has accepted you into it? Do you feel like a citizen of your new country? If so, what made you feel that way? What did you bring with you and why are those things important to you? What did you leave behind? What do you fear? Do you fear being deported?   Have you or any of your family been deported? Been threatened with deportation? If so, what happened? Have you been in a deportation center or a refugee camp? And, any other stories you feel can help us become a more understanding, inclusive community. 

    WHAT KIND OF FORMATS
    We encourage you to send stories, photos, even videos to us. You may choose whether or not to use your real name or a pseudonym. Do not be concerned about perfect spelling, grammar, or form. What is important is your story. It can be conversational, bullet points, poetic, a series of phrases.. whatever method works for you.

    We will accept stories in any language (if you wish to include an English translation, your story length may be doubled). Stories may be short paragraphs to 1200 words. You may include photographs up to 1 GB, .mp4 videos less than 1 GB or links to Vimeo/YouTube, and links to online material.  We can also include a downloadable document. 

    HOW
    Please email to Blog.GutfreundCornettArt@gmail.com  

    ​WHERE
    To expand our dialogue as far as possible, in addition to this blog, we may share your story on our Facebook Page (Gutfreund Cornett Art), our Twitter (@GCA_Art), in the online and printed catalogs for our exhibition "Beyond Borders: Stories of im/Migration" and with visitors to that exhibition.
