Mapping Memories: Stories of Refugee Youth in Montreal is a collaborative multi-media project which uses personal stories and a range of media tools (video, sound walks, mapping, photography) to raise awareness around the situation of refugee youth in Montreal.

:::

Mapping Memories, Imaging a Future is a three-year collaborative multi-media research-creation program with refugee youth that will explore how innovative new media techniques can be used to create art work and empower youth in the process. With funding from the Canadian government, the objective of the program is both to deepen understanding about the under represented experiences of refugee youth and to further knowledge about artistic collaboration and new media such as DIY cartography, video blogging etc.

Liz Miller is the principal investigator on the project and for last fifteen years, Miller has developed documentary and community media projects with youth, senior citizens and a wide range of human rights organizations. - from the Mapping Memories website
