Our Stories: Immigrants of America
Visual artist and photographer Melissa “Mimi” Nolledo's award-winning photo-essay series, Our Stories: Immigrants of America. Nolledo’s project began in November 2016 as a response to the mounting anti-immigrant rhetoric in the United States. This exhibit is a window into her collection of close to 100 dramatic photographs are accompanied by compelling first-hand accounts from the subjects of the portraits themselves. The series has since been exhibited throughout the west coast.. “My goal is that through these photographic essays, we may continue to build bridges of hope, strength and courage to inspire the people around us to see that despite our differences, we are connected and similar in so many other ways — our dreams, aspirations, and our love for country and humankind.” - Nolledo.
