Arte de Lágrimas

Showroom

A virtual showroom that is much more than a collection of drawings or pieces of art from refugees and asylum seekers.

Volunteer: What is it?
Angel: Can't you see? It's the universe.
Volunteer: Oh cool! Why do you like it?
Angel: There are no borders there.

Refuge.

Lucia is a mother traveling with her son from Honduras.
This is written testimony of her journey and gratitude:
“I give thanks to my God to be in this place. May God bless every one who is in this place and who arrive here. I am a migrating person who has fought to be where I am here today. I left my country Honduras on July 13th and entered the USA August 14th, 2015. One suffers, but life requires a sacrifice. But thanks to my God all turned out well. Thank you for everything. It is much appreciated.
May God bless you.”
