Testimony is a long-term project that explores the
experiences of recently arrived refugees or immigrants to San
Francisco. It will search for innovative ways to raise awareness without
re-enacting storytelling tropes and social norms that continue to marginalize vulnerable communities.
The kickoff event
will highlight service providers and professionals who work with immigrants and
refugees. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions and
gather information about the contemporary experience for newcomers to this
city. The professionals participating will represent a diverse array of
services and perspectives on the issue, ranging from a doctor in the pediatric
clinic at SF General Hospital to an immigration lawyer with recent experience
in a detention center in Dilley, Texas, where Central American refugees are
being held. Keeping in mind San Francisco's complex immigration history, we
will try to paint an accurate picture of what's happening in the city right
now, while exploring new questions raised in the context of our city's history
and collective identity.
