Picture Me Here (PMH) is an arts and storytelling program for refugees and immigrants since 2012. Using photography, writing, video, or animation, participants explore a variety of themes, often inspired by their culture, identity, history, and migration experience. Each project is unique, based on the participants and their interests. Our exhibits and events bring together diverse groups to see and hear stories, and build new connections.
Lighthouse Writers Workshop serves as our 501c3 fiscal sponsor and our programming is made possible by grants and donations.

This photo is about my grandma. She is resting. I took her picture because my grandma is important for our family. Sometimes she take care of my sisters and brother. Sometime she looks like a kid and she play like kids play. (Maria - Burma - 2013)
