Peter Hoffman‘s representation of life at Bryan House is one of sanctuary and everyday tasks. It is the sort of normality and calm you expect many of the refugees depicted have sought for a long time. Bryan House is in Aurora, Illinois, where legally established refugees are allowed to reside for periods of a year or more at a time while saving up for a new home, college tuition or other life progressing steps.
Support the Bryan House organization by purchasing Hoffman’s self-published book. You can also buy a limited edition print at Collect.Give. All profits go directly to Bryan House.
