Wurzbach Manor
Through work in a local public elementary school we were connected with three families living at Wurzbach Manor apartments in San Antonio, Texas: the Paw Moo family from Burma, the Niyonkuru family from Tanzania, and the Day family, Americans from New Orleans. Displaced from their native homes because of civil war, genocide and natural disaster, these families had by chance and forces beyond their control become neighbors. Throughout the 2010-11 year we invited them to make pictures of their daily lives, spent time in each families home making drawings together, listening to their stories, and scanning important family images from their personal albums. The work culminated in an exhibition at the San Antonio Public Library and a book that includes their artwork, pictures, and stories.
