The Illustrated Memoir Project

On view in the Dorothy Tredennick Student Gallery are memoirs produced as part of The Illustrated Memoir Project, a nonprofit organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio. 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 special, short-term exhibition will be open from January 13 through January 31.
