The Journal

Mancos Creative District will present a “We All Belong” event from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at Mancos United Methodist Church.

The event invites local communities to understand and speak out about issues faced by immigrants in Colorado. The event will feature an immigration forum with scholars and Rosa Sabido, who is currently in sanctuary at the church.

The Sanctuary Stories project is a multimedia collaboration led by Rosa Sabido, Ingrid Latorre, Araceli Velasquez and Sandra Lopez. It was born out of a desire to tell their stories in their own words. The first-person narratives will be accompanied by original music compositions by Mexican folk musician Juan Carlos Marin.

The film premier of “Rosa’s Sanctuary” by filmmaker John Sheedy will be shown outside at the Mancos United Methodist Church, weather permitting.

The event is free and open to everyone. For more information, contact Anne Beach at anne@mancoscreativedistrict.com or 946-6507, or visit www.mancoscreativedistrict.com.
