2017 Window of Opportunity Grant – $1,500

Melissa Beatríz (ACG ’12) was invited to Austin, Texas to share her documentary film work and collaborate with organizers at the forefront of the immigrant rights movement. She conducted a hands-on DSLR camera and storytelling workshop with youth, focused on producing stories that center the perspectives of Latin American migrant families. Melissa also collected stories of leaders advocating for immigrant rights in Austin, featuring youth, families, teachers, counselors, and activists. These narratives are part of an archival project that follows the immigrant rights movement across cities in the U.S., through the use of digital storytelling as a collaborative tool for organizing.
