Painting Brooklyn Stories of Immigration and Survival

This exhibition tells the stories of diverse individuals who have immigrated to Brooklyn. The people featured in the exhibition share their personal narratives that highlight the process of creating a new home in a new land and how they’ve incorporated their cultural traditions into their New York lives. Their stories speak of hope and despair, embrace and discrimination. The exhibition will be open at the Brooklyn Historical Society from Sept. 17, 2010 – Feb. 27, 2011.
