Initially funded by grant money from the Rhode Island School of Design, Harbor Voices quickly caught the attention of nonprofit art and community organizations, as well as other artists, designers, musicians, and writers. This extensive collaboration between the creative community, nonprofit organizations, and community members makes Harbor Voices a living and growing art piece. By collecting immigration and origin stories, both ancestral and recent, we help connect people to causes meaningful to them, offering opportunities for resource-sharing which can promote social change. Everyone has a meaningful story to tell. Every story from the past relates to the present. Individual and collective action determines the future. — Stephanie Benenson Executive & Artistic Director, Founder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592499100375-GAH2OWYLJLE3T3IG4CMQ/Supporters2.jpg Our Story https://www.harborvoices.com/past-projects daily 0.75 2020-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592505367708-MPVZ15823J794DEQOZPH/IMG_1762.jpg Past Projects - 100 Voices, Our Collective Story City Hall, Gloucester, MA - 2017 In collaboration with the City of Gloucester, Gloucester Public Schools, Pathways for Children, Sandy Bay Historical Society, The Open Door, Rhode Island School of Design Graduate Studies Grant Program, and the People of Cape Ann. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592506133439-TVOXXSNOQX8PB5PVDL8B/IMG_3847.jpg Past Projects - 100 Voices, Our Collective Story The Armory Show, Pier 94, New York, NY - 2018 Harbor Voices "One Hundred Voices, Our Collective Story" was shown at The Armory Show in New York, NY as part of Wang Xin's "The Gallery." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592506744519-XXXI0TR0WTPQ8UPK9SR1/IMG_8776.jpg Past Projects - My Name Translated Is Strength Illuminus Boston, Boston, MA - 2018 On November 2nd & 3rd, 2018 Harbor Voices created a community-specific artwork for the Irish Potato Famine Memorial Park in Downtown Crossing, in conjunction with students from Suffolk University and Illuminus Boston.

Partnerships allow us to better understand each diverse community before launching our storytelling sessions. Local organizations are then invited to engage in the creative art of storytelling using Harbor Voices’ exclusive model, helping our artists generate a comprehensive view of each harbors' ancestral and recent immigrant community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592430088162-ZR4LKZFDDW85SBOV5WAT/190511_203802+%28XT2A1711%29.jpg Home - Mapping our Connections through Public Art Harbor Voices’ lead artist, Stephanie Benenson, then creates a public artwork celebrating the community’s collective voice. The stories shared during storytelling sessions are visualized into an immersive light and sound exhibition, celebrating local cultural identity and shared experience. All Harbor Voices public artworks are presented in a free public space, often in conjunction with other community events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592430018163-ZFR27HX1YFJC0SRM6Y9B/IMG_4815.jpeg Home - Community Storytelling During the initial stages of a Harbor Voices project, community members are invited to share their stories, opening a dialogue about their recent arrival to our harbors or their ancestors’ arrivals. Stories are shared orally in any language, and young storytellers are often provided the opportunity to share their stories through artistic expression in various mediums. Through storytelling sessions, Harbor Voices participants deepen their understanding of the immigrant experience, celebrate cultural identity, experience enhanced empathy and acceptance by discovering shared experience, and gain confidence that their voices can be a vehicle for social change. Storytelling sessions are held at senior centers, the offices of public officials, public schools, nonprofit support groups, and historical societies, among others. https://www.harborvoices.com/recent-work daily 0.75 2021-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1609784541307-LFDDSQ6ADBAW1RHWI00R/13Photography_GalleryWall_CK5A0158.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592431359092-BO9ZZP9G7B5KDKI90CBT/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-8613.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592432182385-UVKBSF2D7HNPLXBYHWK7/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9194.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592432366084-EFCCLB48L6Y2KJ32S4JH/IM_MIGRATION_2019%2BCalendar.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592435366685-NBBOEPCNS328549XIEIR/IMG_3748.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592492412063-7TGH3QYDTERMNNQX0LFT/IMG_3746.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592435661559-RU23ZV5SA9EP4OQNOVUH/image-asset.jpeg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592434590320-G8T4J41JU25XO1LOOU6Z/image-asset.jpeg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592434545439-1RUU6V0JDW60S46I7PQB/_IMG1048.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592432069670-FT0TTP8RROSWSCD56HVM/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9239.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592431244616-WC48PP56S76QARBEORBY/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9041.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592431127134-GUPH3WMG1M2MFF3BQYCR/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9228.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592434605675-QGIS32RCX0BR0G2N69L3/image-asset.jpeg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592433626757-BNTKGY7KKSPMIBQKKMXD/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-05-21%2Bat%2B8.41.50%2BPM.png Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592433598078-JQ53UB1LHABP1IQA504S/FINAL.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592434531204-X8AQUQEI6A6H2IB4V74R/_IMG0933.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592492376186-1GTZ3UJFWSCXWIS1C457/IMG_3747.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592433966175-Q98JE987PNMUNDM3C68P/HarborVoices_AR.png Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592431194333-722FC7AO5N442KEILK25/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9292.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592432143330-W6WTTGYWVPSJY9ZUK8X7/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9324.jpg Recent Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea868b6619d84ab81363d1/1592431288843-VWY3NJQLGT6LG0CT0WCI/PuntoUrbanArtMuseumHarborVoicesPublicArtLaunchphotosbyCreativeCollective-9256.jpg Recent Projects
