Welcome to a world where birds fly in and humans find refuge!
BIRDS FLY IN: A Human Refuge is a production of Birds Fly In, Inc.,
a non-profit corporation in the State of Michigan, approved for 501 (c) 3 tax exempt status.
"MOVING AND POWERFUL!"
BIRDS FLY IN: A Human Refuge is a collaborative project that offers an artful, nonpartisan response to human migration issues at the U.S./Mexican border and beyond. BIRDS FLY IN launched in August, 2020 at the Oliver Art Center, Frankfort, MI. with a subsequent 4-month installation at the Dennos Museum, Traverse City, MI in 2021. The immersive exhibit was most recently installed at the Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts, Manistee, MI thru October 31, 2024.
HELP BIRDS FLY IN TO FLY!
As we continue to develop this project your help is needed to create an important time-out space for reflecting on the ART + MUSIC of BIRDS FLY IN. We continue to seek installation venues. If you have a connection with an art center, community or cultural center, or church that might host BIRDS FLY IN, please let us know. Together we can change the conversation about migration in our country. THANK YOU for your help!
