My Name Translated is Strength
A collaboration between Harbor Voices and Professor Ereni Marcos at Suffolk University
My name translated is Strength is a collection of ancestral and recent stories of immigration and origin and connects stories of the past to stories of the present in immersive community collaborative public art installations. We strengthen community bonds by finding parallels in our common story and celebrate cultural diversity in harbor communities.
