Cville Tulips
C-ville Tulips is an emerging group of refugee women and children in the Charlottesville area. We use visual arts, storytelling, and physical activity to promote and activate strengths and cultural resilience, acknowledge challenges, prevent social isolation, and establish strengths for refugee women. We are part of the Sound Justice Lab at the University of Virginia.
Summer Fun
We will gather Tuesday Evenings for on the University of Virginia Arts Grounds for movement, arts, and conversation. The programs run from June 21 through August 9 from 5:30-7:30 pm. Kids will enjoy nature-based activities with Wild Rock and women will have the opportunity to explore exercise and creative expression. Our team includes professional social workers and teachers as well as student volunteers and sound justice interns.
