About the Narratio Fellowship
The Narratio Fellowship is a storytelling and leadership program that provides resettled refugee youth Fellows with the tools and resources to share their narratives and creative works on the world stage. Through a year-long program, Fellows work with artists in residence and program directors to develop and share stories across contexts, media, and languages. The program begins with a month-long summer workshop series and culminates in two key gatherings: a trip to New York City where Fellows showcase their work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and an exhibit and performance in their local communities. In addition to providing youth fellows at educational transition points with academic mentorship and advising through partnerships with schools and universities, the Fellowship is designed to encourage and prepare alumni to shape the program’s growth and sustainability. The Fellows serving in residencies for the Banerjee exhibit are from 2019, 2020, and 2021 Narratio cohorts. They have also served as Narratio artists-in-residence and program facilitators.
