Fleet of Passage is a community-based art project developed around immigration, belonging, and questions of place.
Each vessel carries a story.
Participants begin with the same paper hull.
Using personal or researched histories, emotions, and materials to inspire them, each vessel becomes entirely individual.
Shared origin
The fleet grows wherever people gather.
How It Works
The group with the same vessel shape.
Participants begin with an identical paper hull
Cut, fold, paint, and share.
Using only kraft paper and supporting materials, each vessel becomes unique.
Together, we make a fleet.
The vessels gather into a collective work.
Fleet of Passage travels as a living exhibition of shared movement and belonging.
Bring the fleet to your community.
Fleet of Passage travels to schools, galleries, and community spaces.
Each exhibition expands the collection and the conversation.
