The New Americans

In conjunction with the Refugee exhibit, The New Americans installation at Skylight Studios  (see address below) features a collection of stories on refugees who were resettled in the United States to start a new life through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. 

The installation features The Refugee Project, an interactive visual narrative created from 40 years of UNHCR refugee data; New Roots, a long-form multimedia experience by visual journalist Sarah Ann Jump featuring a Congolese refugee family resettling in Rochester, New York; several short films of refugee families sharing their experiences as they resettle in California and adapt to their new lives; and a photo series by blogger and photographer Brandon Stanton of Humans of New York which features the personal stories of refugees recently cleared for resettlement in America.
