Exodus & Resilience transforms U.S. migration stories into art, memory, and civic dialogue. We acquire works by artists whose practice deeply explores the causes and histories of displacement, then share them through pop-up exhibitions, a digital archive, and free community workshops.

• 34 million people in the United States live with a legacy of displacement (UNHCR 2024).  
• Art activates empathy and policy change faster than statistics alone.  
• We are launching now to build momentum ahead of national election-year debates on immigration.

This timeline is aspirational and will scale with funds raised:

Seed — Fall 2025  
• Acquire 5 anchor artworks 
• Produce 3 micro-workshops in NYC 

Grow — Winter 2025 
• Build bilingual digital archive 
• Host online artist talks 

Expand — Spring 2026 
• First traveling pop-up in Los Angeles 
• Partner outreach for Midwest leg

Dates may shift depending on fundraising progress; supporters receive quarterly updates.
