Where I Come From addressed the challenges of living through multiple hurricanes in Columbus County, North Carolina.  Through a multimedia exhibit (photo, animation, video, sound) and audio podcasts (spoken word, audio landscape, documentary) youth participants shared their experiences with displacement and building community resilience.  Because of the recent hurricanes, many residents have lost their homes and dealt with multiple storms' emotional and economic impacts.
