Historias de maletas

We all have an immigration story to tell – whether it’s about how you came to call the U.S. home, how living abroad or meeting people with different backgrounds from your own shaped you, or how the people in your life bravely decided to put down roots somewhere new. The way we view and understand diverse backgrounds is profoundly influenced by the stories we hear from neighbors, relatives, and colleagues, as well as our own interactions with people from around the world.

Suitcase Stories® programming explores global migration through storytelling to foster more welcoming and inclusive communities. By inviting U.S. and internationally-born residents to develop and share meaningful personal experiences of migration and cross-cultural exchange, this programming provides a unique way for a community to strengthen understanding and acceptance of newcomers in neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.

Acerca de los narradores

Entre los intérpretes de Suitcase Stories® hay una combinación de narradores profesionales y personas que se inician en el oficio. Para muchos narradores, participar en una representación de Suitcase Stories® es la primera vez que comparten sus historias ante un público en directo, y puede ser una experiencia transformadora.

Anteriores narradores han viajado a Estados Unidos desde Afganistán, Camboya, Cuba, Haití, Corea, Myanmar, Polonia, Somalia, Sudán y muchos otros países. Entre los narradores también hay personas nacidas en Estados Unidos para reforzar el hecho de que la inmigración es un tema que nos afecta a todos.

Participar en una representación de Suitcase Stories® fue una experiencia memorable porque era la primera vez que compartía mi historia en un escenario con otros refugiados e inmigrantes para hacer oír nuestras voces y ser defensora de los que no tienen voz".

- Biar Kon, cliente del IINE y antiguo refugiado sudanés

This was an unforgettable experience. It felt good to know I was doing something positive by informing and sharing my story. It took me outside of my comfort zone, but I gained confidence in the end, and I am grateful for being given the opportunity.”

– Luis Cárdenas, Engineer at Biogen

To hear the stories of immigrants at all stages of their assimilation was eye-opening and heartwarming.”

– Elizabeth, audience member at Global Arts Live performance
