Project snapshot
Siembra Today is launching the “Portraits of Lineage: A Celebration of Latinx Stories” project, an immersive art and storytelling experience aimed at empowering Latine immigrants to reclaim their narratives. This event, hosted at their Casa Wellness space in Queens, invites participants to create self-portraits, symbolizing their personal journeys and cultural identities. The event will also feature guided storytelling sessions that incorporate holistic wellness practices such as meditation, breathwork, and reflective writing, allowing individuals to process and share their stories. An art gallery will showcase these portraits and narratives, offering community members the chance to engage with the experiences of resilient immigrant families. By allowing participants to control how their stories are shared, Siembra Today aims to challenge harmful stereotypes about Latine communities and highlight their successes.
