This event will feature Dr. Kelly Nguyen, who will present her project, the Refugee Material Culture Initiative (RMCI).
Nguyen will discuss the RMCI’s efforts to digitally preserve refugee-made artifacts and art, create an accessible database, and develop educational resources that center refugee narratives.
