Sanctuary City showcases emerging and accomplished mid-career artists and a variety of media, from installations to award-winning comic books, the works on view address themes of immigration and community building. Experiences of trauma are commonplace in the lives of immigrants, but that does not invalidate or diminish the experiences and narratives of love, found family, resilience, resistance, and friendship. We dive into this conversation with heightened awareness, open ears, and hearts, taking in the ideas presented to us in hopes to learn, offering safe spaces, and creating more welcoming and safer environments for immigrant and refugee populations.

In this community curated exhibit by Julia Csekö, Pauline joins Filipinx interdisciplinary mulitmedia artist Lani Asunción in a performance of Song for Land far away at Sea, combining Filipino music and tradition with sound experimentation, creating an immersive experience for audiences.
