"Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary of Swarthmore College: a two-year project, supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, that connects the arts to historical and contemporary stories of refuge. Local Syrians and Iraqis worked with commissioned artists, writers and illustrators to create handmade books that explore connections between history and experience, displacement and refuge, empathy and belonging. Five artists - Islam Aly, Maureen Cummins, Erik Ruin, Courtney Bowles, and Mark Strandquist - were commissioned to create new works emerging from conversations with project collaborators and research in Swarthmore's Friends History Library and Peace Collection and archives elsewhere. These new works were featured in exhibitions in Swarthmore, Philadelphia, and beyond. At the close of the exhibitions, all project materials will be archived at Swarthmore College."--

Publication information from Booklyn website.
"GDLOFT created a catalog that documents the process and progress of the project and the artistic work. The book structure attempts to reflect issues of displacement and immigration by melding two books (stories) into one. The book(s) shares a common cover while housing two book blocks. Translated in both English and Arabic languages, the design attempts to express the experience of finding commonalities and differences akin to the refugee experience through design and layout."--GDLOFT website
"Friends, Peace, and Sanctuary: a deep collaboration between Swarthmore College Libraries and the Eugene M. Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility.
