Welcome To My House

Refugee youth in Jordan and young people in Washington connected through painting, music, photography, dance and film.

The creative process

Migrating artworks and a collaborative music video formed an early example of creative exchange across borders. Project documentation identifies the second mural as Skagit Valley College, Washington.

People & collaboration

Refugee youth, Washington youth, Benjamin Swatez, Luc Reynaud and collaborators.

A continuing conversation

This project belongs to a wider practice of community-authored expression. Its relationship to Artegenesis is explored as part of Benjamin’s developing research, without assuming identical effects across communities.
