"Moving Lives": Immigrant Artists Speakers Bureau This unique project involves immigrant artists in conducting presentations with schools, businesses, and other groups throughout the Twin Cities. “Moving Lives” artists come from all over the world and include musicians, visual artists, and more. As part of their presentations, artists tell their stories, share their artwork, and facilitate dialogues on human rights issues. School groups may also request a longer partnership with an artist for a classroom art project or initiative. “Moving Lives” is a joint project of The Advocates for Human Rights and Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis.
