I am Yemenity 1 - Michele Sider

Pontiac, Michigan 48342, United States

Created By: Canvas Pontiac

Information

Inspired by the stories of Yemenite and other Arab and African Jews who fled their countries, I created ‚ I am Yemenite 1. This glass mosaic is part of a series depicting the rich and painful history of the people from this region. The eyes of this woman from the South Eastern region of Haban reveal years of hardship combined with strength, resilience and faith. My goal is to teach and honor those whose story I wish to tell. This body of work is both personally meaningful and relevant today as we struggle with the plight of refugees from many regions.
