Event Description

The Shoe Project brings together immigrant and refugee women who, with the guidance of professional writing and theatre coaches, craft and perform powerful personal stories. Each story is anchored by a pair of shoes symbolizing moments of loss, transition or hope on their journey to a new life.

This year’s Shoe Project cohort includes women from Ukraine, Sudan, Afghanistan, Colombia, Kurdistan-Northern Iraq, Bangladesh, Lebanon, India, Poland and Chile. Join us and be inspired by these unique, uplifting and powerful stories!
