Participants in BuildaBridge's Saturday art groups, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, wrote "I AM" poems their first day of group. On the last day of group, three participants recited their poems before a camera.
The "I AM" poem provided prompts for participants to reflect on their individual qualities, characteristics, beliefs, hopes and dreams. The accompanying art-making experience on that first day involved the creation of an individual mandala which then became part of a group mandala. Self-exploration through various visual art mediums was the focus for the remaining five groups, assisting participants in developing their identity in a new culture and in community with one another. Groups were held at Souderton Mennonite Church from July to September.
