Love, friendships, grief and pain are all part of an upcoming evening of interactive art by refugee youth titled Landings: Anti-Racist Futures in Stories.

The event on March 28 will feature five stations created by 30 refugee youth, telling the stories of newcomers in Calgary using mediums such as computer simulations, sketch and stop-motion animation, short documentaries, and songs. Through their art, the contributors, ranging in age from 14 to 21, will reimagine resettlement in an anti-racist framework.
