ABOUT
(W)HERE TO STAY?!  is a special presentation of Swedish photographer Magnus Wennman's photographic essay Where the Children Sleep, which comprises 22 photographs of displaced children in provisional sleeping arrangements and accompanying descriptive captions.

Over the month of November, Where the Children Sleep will be displayed in cluster of one to three images across multiple locations in Charlottesville.  In December and early January, the photos will be reunited at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, where it will be exhibited alongside artwork and writing by local high school students.  Following the exhibition of the Jefferson School, community groups and congregations are invited to host the images in their spaces through the month of February.

From November through February we will be sponsoring, co-hosting, and highlighting many activities in our city that help tell the story of displacement and belonging in our community.  Please see our calendar for events as they arise, or sign up for our email updates.
