Voces que Migran: Book Pre-Launch

Migration is more than movement from one place to another—it is a journey shaped by memories, identities, challenges, and hopes. Voces que Migran (Migrating Voices) brings these experiences to the forefront through an evening dedicated to storytelling, dialogue, and cultural expression.

Ceremonial welcome before the beginning of the event.

This special event creates a space where migrant voices can be heard, celebrated, and preserved. Through personal narratives, artistic presentations, and community conversations, participants are invited to reflect on the many ways migration shapes individuals, families, and communities.

Welcome remarks by Gladys De La Torre, introducing the vision and purpose of Voces que Migran.

Sharing experiences and building connections through dialogue and culture.

At Amawa Cultural Center, we believe that culture travels with people. Traditions, languages, music, and stories cross borders, creating connections that enrich both migrant communities and the places they call home. Events like Voces que Migran remind us that every migration story carries resilience, creativity, and a deep sense of belonging.
