Farida Erikat on Arab Youth Storytelling in El Cajon
In celebration of Arab American Heritage Month, we are spotlighting Homeland and Homemaking: Arab Youth Tell Their Stories, a fall 2023 Humanities for All Project Grant recipient spearheaded by the Majdal Center in San Diego County, California. This project compliments the Center’s efforts to help Arab refugee and new immigrant youth members thrive; through a series of mixed media workshops over the course of two years, youth participants are being given the opportunity to reflect on their lives and develop their own narratives relating to themes of displacement, migration, resettlement, and diaspora. The work produced will form the basis for a fall 2024 exhibit at the El Cajon Library.
