The National Museum of Mexican Art believes art is a bridge between communities that creates opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue on topics such as migration. This series will share the stories of immigrants of different nationalities and their life journeys. With these videos, we offer transformative perspectives on immigrant narratives, and yet another way to further engage with the themes and topics presented in our permanent collection.

This set of short videos features Founder & CEO of the Haitian American Museum of Chicago, Elsie Hernandez in her own words:

• My Experience in Mexico
• Haiti's Impact On The World
• My Immigration Story
• Why Art is Important
• Adjusting to Chicago
• The Haitian Revolution & Liberty
