As a queer immigrant poet, I find a true and meaningful sense of hospitality and belonging at ARTogether’s reading series. In my experience, there are not a lot of local spaces, either literary or community, that fully embrace all of my different selves. I believe this space will also be very meaningful and significant to fellow immigrants and refugees with multiple intersectional identities.
I got a chance to work together with a lot of people who are also immigrants from different countries (like me), through the process of creating art we got to know each other and I learned about their culture through their stories
As a first-generation immigrant, the Mentorship Hub at ARTogether played a crucial role in my learning journey. Not only has this program taught me valuable skills, but also it reassured me that being an immigrant doesn’t hinder my career progress.
