Portraying Humanity
A large focus of the work at the MICA Project is promoting the voice and human dignity of immigrant communities. The MICA Project wishes to change the narrative of immigration in this country, which too often dehumanizes newcomers based solely on their country of origin.
The hope of the Portraying Humanity photo series is to create a space for clients to share their experiences with the larger community; to write the narrative for themselves. Their stories shed light on the countless experiences of how people are directly impacted by our nation’s immigration system and give a glimpse into a point of view that is too often muted. The MICA Project and the people that they work with aim to promote these voices and encourage a dialog rooted in dignity, celebration, and respect.
