​Caribbean Community in Philadelphia is an organization that was established almost 11 years ago with Arts & Culture at the forefront of its operation. They now operate a year-round 8-part programming. They are fiscally sponsored by CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia for the last 7 years. Post COVID, they recognized the need for more Caribbean cultural art displays and exhibits around Philadelphia. This project was inspired by a painted fundraiser barrel – ‘Heart for Haiti.’

​The Center for Experimental Ethnography was established in 2018 at the University of Pennsylvania as a creative laboratory for critical multimodal research. A basic premise that underlies their efforts is the contention that an expanded and multi-modal definition of what counts as scholarship will lead to a more diverse university community in which artistic practice is a cornerstone not only for engaged and participatory democracy and social justice, but also for the reimagining and transformation of the university as a whole.

The Penn Museum’s mission is to be a center for inquiry and the ongoing exploration of humanity for our University of Pennsylvania, regional, national, and global communities, following ethical standards and practices.

Through conducting research, stewarding collections, creating learning opportunities, sharing stories, and creating experiences that expand access to archaeology and anthropology, the Museum builds empathy and connections across diverse cultures.

The Caribbean immigrant narrative project was funded through the VocalizED Identity Crafting and Exploration (VOICE) Lab, which is housed in the English department at Stony Brook University and is directed by Dr. NeishaTerry Young. The VOICE lab is a collaborative cultural identity exploration and narration hub that supports immigrants in utilizing the tools and platforms of multiliteracies to explore, author, and disseminate their identity narratives. The project was completed in collaboration with Dr. Tennecia Dacass from Central Washington University.
