A little over one week left to view our installation of “Stories Across Borders” in the lobby of @TMCAsser. When there is so much going on in the world, we invite you to take pause and reflect on the stories of those who show us resilience in times of conflict.
“Stories Across Borders” exhibition by @ARTWORKSProject installed in our lobby just in time for #JustPeace Open Day! Featuring the work of @BassamKhabieh, Wil Sands, & Rachel Woolf, it offers us a glimpse into complex stories of forced displacement, separation, and belonging.
