IMMIGRATION JOURNEYS JUKEBOX PROJECT
Listen to middle school Pedagogy of Photography (POP) students share their immigration stories through symbolic poetry at the Queens Museum of Art during Immigrant Heritage Week. POP students share their feelings as Pakistani, Jamaican, Albanian, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Nigerian and Filipino youth immigrants. Inspired by their photographic installation piece, Doors of Reflection, students recorded poetry and songs about their lives. Their CD will be exhibited in a Jukebox and can be listened to as part of the Queens Museum of Art NYC Immigrant Heritage Weeks' Immigration Journey Jukebox Project.
From April 17th - 23rd the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs presents Immigrant Heritage Week, a series of events throughout the five boroughs that celebrates the history and contributions of immigrants to New York City’s cultural and economic life.
