Sticky Family

This publication emerged from The Sticky Family Workshops, a series of generative and participatory workshops that invited students in ARAB009/ENGL009: Refuge: Resettled in Philadelphia (Fall 2023, Swarthmore College) and community collaborators--drawn from the Arabic-speaking resettled community in Philadelphia--to imagine what our world might look like if we, quite literally, had to stick together across differences. Each of the three workshops were led by two teaching artists--josh graupera and Yaroub Al-Obaidi with Professors Smith and Price participating as part of the group.

The Sticky Family Workshops took place on November 1, November 8, and November 15, 2023 in person at Swarthmore College. Participants included nine students enrolled in the course, two course instructors, and five community members.
