The HOME Refugee Steering Committee at the Lynden Sculpture Garden invites you to observe World Refugee Day in a series of outdoor events and programs that celebrate Milwaukee’s refugee communities through art, food, fashion, and performance.
In August 2024, we join with the Community Center for Immigrants [link: https://communitycenterforimmigrants.com/] for a day of celebrating the citizenship and naturalization of new Americans from Milwaukee’s refugee and immigrant communities.
• Enjoy a free lunch prepared by local refugee chefs and refugee-run businesses.
• Gather around the dye vat to dye your own T-shirt with artist-in-residence Arianne King Comer.
• Expect music and dance, and a curated outdoor market featuring handicrafts and other goods from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Indigenous makers.
Bring your dancing shoes and learn some new dances and bring cash to support our craft vendors and community chefs (tips encouraged for the free lunch).
About HOME
HOME is the theme of our work with refugee community leaders, community members, Call & Response artists, and allies. The HOME Refugee Steering Committee is building a space of leading, coming together, and celebrating refugees.
World Refugee Day 2024 celebrations extend into two additional HOME “days” featuring music, dance, food, fashion, and craft. For all HOME 2024 programming, click here.
