Project Volunteer: Migration Patterns: Mapping Our Journey
Human Solutions Family Shelter, Portland, Oregon

June - December 2017
Partnered with Portland social action artist and art therapist, Rachel O'Rourke, to work with the women and children at Portland’s Human Solutions emergency family shelter.
 

Migration Patterns: Mapping Our Journey was a social practice project co-created by participants housed in the Human Solutions Family Center and Rachel O'Rourke. With funding made possible by the Regional Arts and Culture Council, Rachel collaborated with families for ten months in 2017 to creatively explore how to change the dominant discourse surrounding the issue of homelessness.
 

As a contributing artist, I worked with the shelter residents mapping their journey to homelessness and photographically documented the project and Rachel's interaction with the residents..
