Immigrant communities have long been described primarily as workers—but far less often as leaders, creators, and narrators of their own history.

​

Our Stories invests in art, storytelling, and cultural preservation to ensure immigrant voices shape the public narrative about Chicago, and document the reality of immigration enforcement in Chicagoland.

​

Through artist commissions, community events, and story archives, the initiative documents this moment in history while building solidarity across generations and communities.
