About Us
Our Story
The Monarch Project was born from a simple observation: the monarch butterfly's epic migration mirrors the human journey of transformation and movement across borders. We created this traveling installation to celebrate those stories—to give people a moment of beauty, reflection, and connection. As we move from city to city, our wall of participant photos grows, creating a visual testament to our shared experiences of change, hope, and belonging. Every person who steps into our installation becomes part of something larger than themselves.
