Aliento is presenting (IN) VISIBLE, a gallery showcase of the work produced this last year in Aliento’s Arts and Healing Workshops for DACA/undocumented youth and migrant families. This year’s theme brings migrant voices to light by transforming feelings of anxiety and invisibility into a visible celebration of our resilience and our hope.
Within our Art + Healing workshops this past year, we made use of various art mediums. We used drawing, painting, writing, collage-making, origami letters, and clay sculptures, just to name a few, to help us get in touch with ourselves.

While current applicants can continue to renew, due to Trump’s decision to rescind the program, we see many young people who are being left undocumented because they were too young to apply.
In August of 2018, we selected 5 individuals from 5 different schools across the valley to be part of the Aliento Fellowship 2018. Each brought with them their own unique experiences and skills!
