Muslim Journeys
American Stories: 250 Years & Beyond
Expanding the American story through human experience — a public humanities initiative bringing Muslim American stories into the American record through storytelling, oral history, art, and lived experience.
Whose stories does America remember?
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, communities across the nation are reflecting on whose stories are remembered, preserved, and represented in our shared public memory.
Muslim Journeys responds to this moment through storytelling, oral history, art, and lived experience — creating spaces where people move beyond assumptions and embrace one another more fully.
Four ways to meet a story.
Every visit moves through listening, seeing, immersion, and reflection — designed to build understanding through human experience.
Oral Histories
Oral histories and community listening archives, recorded in the voices of those who lived them.
Portraits & Story
Portraits, photography, and documentary storytelling that put a face to every journey.
Immersive Media
Interactive installations and immersive media environments that surround visitors in lived experience.
Community Memory
Dialogue spaces and community memory walls where visitors add their own reflections.
Designed to travel — and to belong.
Muslim Journeys is built for collaborative public-humanities programming, adapting to each host’s space and community. Every installation makes room for reflection, dialogue, storytelling, and shared interpretation — wherever people gather.
