A symposium titled "Archives in Transit: TodoSomos and the Venezuelan Migration Crisis" will showcase firsthand accounts from Venezuelan migrants at Cornell University. This event features testimonies collected between 2019 and 2021 by TodoSomos, aiming to bring awareness to the struggles faced by nearly 8 million displaced Venezuelans due to economic and political turmoil. Experts emphasize that these stories provide essential perspectives on individual hopes and fears, highlighting the humanity of each migrant. The event, organized by the Mario Einaudi Center and Cornell Library, seeks to foster understanding of this humanitarian crisis.
The testimonies included in TodoSomos show us that each individual migrant is a person like any other. Their testimonies give us access to their hopes, dreams, fears and expectations.
This translated excerpt is part of an archive of thousands of handwritten testimonies given to Cornell University Library in 2023 by a nongovernmental organization dedicated to raising awareness about the Venezuelan migration crisis.
