HOME 2026: REIMAGINING CITIZENSHIP

FREE
The HOME Refugee Steering Committee at the Lynden Sculpture Garden invites you to join us for a series of free, family-friendly events that celebrate Milwaukee's refugee communities through art, food, poetry, and performance. Our theme for World Refugee Day 2026, selected by Lynden’s HOME Refugee Steering Committee, is We Belong/You Belong: Joy and Unity Against the Odds.

Taking that theme, We Belong/You Belong: Joy and Unity Against the Odds, as our starting point, we come together to re-imagine what citizenship means in 2026, and what it could mean in the future.
