Hosted by Global Studies and the St. Kate's Library, we are delighted to be hosting the Green Card Voices Exhibit throughout the month of November. The exhibit highlights the recent experiences of youth immigrants from Afghanistan in Minnesota. Join us for the Green Card Voices Reception on November 13 from 11:30-1.
Inspired by the book “My City Was a Sparkling Jewel: Voices of Newcomer Youth from Afghanistan,” the exhibition and event will serve as a platform to explore the journeys of 30 storytellers, ages sixteen to twenty-two, who come from various ethnic groups: Pashtun, Hazara, Pashai, and Tajik. Using a trauma-informed approach to storytelling, Green Card Voices and its Afghan partners carefully collected the stories of these youth who share the challenges faced, opportunities grasped, and dreams these youth had, and still have, for themselves, and for the families and friends they left behind.
