Lorelei’s project, titled Amplified Heart, is a collection of stories, photographic portraits and music playlists of new immigrants to Philadelphia. The portraits will be installed at the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians, accompanied by audio and print interviews about the experiences of new immigrants leaving their countries of origin and assimilating into the U.S. Questions about their experiences will focus on the music and songs that remind them of being home and those that are significant to their journey to Philadelphia. The music and interviews will be mixed and repurposed into an audio piece and an opening reception for the public will unveil this multimedia approach to storytelling.
