| Abstract: | In the United States, and in particular in the South, elected officials resistant to Black and brown demographic and cultural shifts have sought to destroy or block the histories and cultures of immigrants and minoritized from public discourse. United We Dream, an organization led by immigrant youth, is using public art to center minoritized visionmakers, history weavers, and storytellers whose experiences as immigrants awaken a mindset of abundance, racial justice, and Black and brown liberation in the broader public. Often, the concept of scarcity -- that there are not enough resources to go around -- undergirds the country's vast carceral and immigration enforcement systems. United We Dream's powerful cultural work aims to debunk these falsehoods and show the richness and abundance of communities nationwide. |
