Mekong, a community based organization serving the SE Asian community in the Bronx, will build its Culture and Arts as Resistance project through an eight-week intergenerational summer program where young women and elder women will work together to hear and tell each others’ stories. The program will culminate with a photography exhibit that will be shared among the Cambodian community as well as with the Bronx Museum. The program will provide a space for participants to engage in community building and community healing, dealing with traumas of the past as well as current distress around immigration.
