Stories of Immigrants & Refugees

“Unless you’re Native American, you came from someplace else.”

—Barack Obama, 1/29/13

The Silhouette Project: Stories of Immigrants and Refugees is a visual story expose that shares the unique and immensely different stories and backgrounds of immigrants and refugees in America today. Within these individual stories, there exists many commonalities and themes across their narratives.

Interested in sharing your story or know someone who would be?

The Silhouette Project is ongoing and always seeking individuals willing to share their experience through a spoken and photographic interview, resulting in a visual silhouette colored by the imagery of the story.
