No Place Called Home …This wasn’t supposed to be a love story - A New Play with Music, Written and Performed By Kim Schultz
In an effort to raise awareness of the Iraqi refugee crisis, Intersections International initiated the
Iraqi Voices Amplification Project (IVAP). A delegation of eight American artists visited Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to interview Iraqi refugees and learn firsthand about the crisis. When they returned home to the US, the artists created pieces designed to amplify the voices of the refugees. The intention is to draw attention to the refugee crisis, and while “utilizing the arts as an innovative medium to tell the refugees’ stories, IVAP also provides tangible policy recommendations for the U.S. government to consider in order to strengthen Iraqi society, help aide organizations working with Iraqi refugees in the region, and help improve the conditions of refugees internationally.” (from
