Muralist and poet Jess X. Snow and A/P/A Institute at NYU Artist-in-Residence Ushka (Thanushka Yakupitiyage) collaborated with NYU students to create a mural and sound installation that articulates migrant, queer, diasporic, and Indigenous ideas of sanctuary. Drawing inspiration from the migratory journeys of the natural world and the power of collective imagination, We Imagine Sanctuary is a space in which one can reflect, organize, and envision a future free of borders, family separation, and forced migration.
