#CuandoElRioSuena #WhenTheRiverSounds

Casa San José está em Pittsburgh Glass Center.

· Pittsburgh ·

The story of migration has so many layers. Some people are fleeing violence, some poverty, some everything at once. Telling their story, the human story behind migration is as urgent as the need to give them their dignity and their humanity back.

.
.
We invite you to visit the new exposition of @guerreroglass at @pghglasscenter Cuando el Rio Suena. See, touch, read and listen to some of the real stories of people who fled their countries looking for a safer life and a better future. We extend our gratitude to Jaime Guerrero for this wonderful work and his will to help Casa San Jose. A portion of the proceeds from the exposition will be donated to Casa to support the work we do with and for the Latino community in Pittsburgh. #CuandoElRioSuena #WhenTheRiverSounds @ Pittsburgh Glass Center
