About 2nd Story’s "Point of View'' Programming
Given the nature of 2nd Story's work and the diversity of artists we collaborate with, we have the unique opportunity to build community among and share the stories of marginalized groups by building teams for our shows that share a particular point of view. It is our honor to be a conduit for these collaborations. This show is created and produced entirely by a team of artists with significant relationships to immigration, migration, and the complex idea of where we are “from.”

““There is just something so humane about a 2nd Story show. The emotions from story to story run the gamut—fear, joy, grief, celebration, surprise, insight, irony, humor. But running through all of them is this endearing and enduring sense of humanity, unshaded by a commercial angle or necessity, just civil, thoughtful, and always memorable.””
““We know that 2nd Story events are always going to be good.””
“I don’t know the last time I didn’t look at my phone for two hours.”
