The Dzaleka Art Project: A Community-Based Documentation Project in a Malawian Refugee Camp
Journal of Folklore and Education, v11 p110-120 2024
A collaboration between youth in a refugee camp in Malawi, U.S. college students, and a professor of folklore has produced a website and forthcoming book manuscript. The project augments opportunities for the artists, all of whom are refugees or asylum seekers, to share their work, bring visibility to the talent in the camp, raise awareness about their lives as refugees, and educate people about the role of arts in migrants' lives.
