Nearly a third of Somerville residents were born outside of the United States. Who are we in this immigrant city? What dreams and aspirations brought us here? How did we cope in a new community and in a new country? What brings us together—what pulls us apart—across generations of immigrants?

Hear the stories of over 30 people of immigrant heritage in Somerville—from those whose families arrived generations ago, to recent immigrants from around the world. Through stories, photos, art and artifacts, Immigrant City: Then and Now explores Somerville’s immigrant roots and the lives of today’s newest residents. Participate in this creative and eclectic celebration of our immigrant city.
