Sycamore Class looked at refugees and immigration for Local History Week. We discussed what it means to be an immigrant or a refugee. We looked at how our current media is unfortunately creating quite a toxic and negative view of refugees while forgetting their humanity and the fact they have their own rich life stories just the same as anyone else. We decided to take photos of refugees and reinvent their portraits in a positive light to show our support for those fleeing their homes to stay safe.
