Celebration of Migration/Home

Migration/Home is a public artwork organized by Brattleboro artist Jonathan Gitelson to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence. Gitelson commissioned the work from members of Brattleboro’s resettled refugee community, including several members of the ArtLords, a mural collective founded in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2014. The featured artists are Marwa Safa Azimi, Butunga Bibimba, Abdullah Elhan, Sean Kiziltan, and Zuhra Nadem.

This project was made possible by the support of the Cohen Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College, and a Spark! Connecting Community grant from the Vermont Community Foundation.
