Artist Talk with Kate Currie and Enock Sadiki

Join us on Wednesday, January 15, at 4:30pm to hear about the memoirs on view in a special, short-term exhibition showcasing works made as part of The Illustrated Memoir Project, a nonprofit organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dr. Kate Currie, Director of The Illustrated Memoir Project, and Enock Sadiki, Board Member and former Intern at The Illustrated Memoir Project and current Berea College student (Class of 2027), will speak about their experiences with the organization. This event is free and open to the public; no RSVP required. Refreshments and snacks will be available after the talk.

The Illustrated Memoir Project engages refugee and immigrant youth to write and illustrate true stories from their lives. The goal of this project is to foment intellectual self-trust in the participants, center their lived experience, enhance social emotional learning, and increase literacies. Through sharing these stories, the Project seeks to foster a richer understanding of the experience of refugee and immigrant youth and build a more welcoming global community. This exhibition will be open from January 13 through January 31.
