Rooted Threads: Through Our Eyes

Join us for an intimate evening of art, storytelling, and collective reflection.
Rooted Threads: Through Our Eyes marks the culmination of We Liberate the World’s 10-week creative healing program Rooted Threads for SWANA (Southwest Asian and North African) youth in Hamilton.

Throughout the program, participants have explored themes of identity, resilience, grief, and community through photography, multimedia art, and storytelling. Rooted Threads was designed to help youth understand the transformative power of community — bridging the gaps between advocacy, the arts, and collective healing.

As part of their learning, participants have been entrusted with a small program budget to organize and host their own community event, applying the lessons they have learned about leadership, collaboration, and the importance of shared space.

• Photography & Multimedia Showcase – Visual stories created by youth reflecting their lived experiences and emotional landscapes.
• Open Mic: Poetry & Spoken Word – Original works by participants and local community artists.
• Live Music & Performances – Expressions of healing, solidarity, and cultural pride.

This gathering will serve as a safe and welcoming space for artists, youth, and community members to connect, reflect, and express solidarity through creativity and dialogue.

All ticket proceeds will be donated to Free Kitchen Gaza, supporting their ongoing food programs for displaced families in Gaza.
