  • Resilience Amidst Displacement

    $10

    Home is a privilege so many of us take for granted. Whether it’s a simple roof over our heads, enclosed walls to shelter our loved ones, or the luxury of a locked door. The authors and artists featured in Resilience Amidst Displacement: Voice of a Refugee bravely share their stories and reflect upon the experiences of others; tales of being torn from home, watching their cities destroyed from afar, navigating unfamiliar cultures, and reconstructing their understanding of home within themselves.

  • Indigenous Voices

    $10

    Throughout history and across the globe, Indigenous people have faced silenced voices, profound injustices, and forced displacement from their homes and communities. However, they continue to rise; sharing their stories with courage and pride and beautifully threading their ideas of spirituality and mythology into the innate fabric of their narratives. The authors and artists in Indigenous Voices urge us to challenge the past, draw insight from their themes, and carry their knowledge into our present and future.

We envision a world where artist activism is honored as a human right, and a source of social change.
