Migration Stories in Art + Music | November 12

Moxie Raia’s “Follow Me” talks about how people need to leave there because of the circumstances in their country.  Bruce Springsteen’s “American Land” Song talks about how immigrants have hopes and are wanting to come to have a better life.

Favianna Rodriguez likes to see change through people. She believes that immigrants should tell their stories because it’ll be more impactful. Through art, people can get a clear view of what the painting is representing and what’s actually going on in the world with immigrants.

Questions:

  • Are all of the songs about migration similar to the past?
