On Nov. 16 at the Bellevue Art Museum, Humanities Washington’s Beyond Talking Points series wrapped up its multifaceted look at immigration with a program featuring refugees from around the world who now call Washington home.

Refugees from Bhutan, Burma, Iraq, Somalia, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia’s Cham region shared personal stories about how they came to reside in Washington. The evening also featured clips from the award-winning documentary “Rain in a Dry Land” and a private tour of the Bellevue Arts Museum exhibition “Travelers: Objects of Dream and Revelation.” (end)
