Description
This project is a digital documentation of Sara Ataya's life as an immigrant growing up in the London community.

Sara discusses losing her native language and explores the process of learning it again, while maintaining and nurturing ties to her family, culture, and home. She shares family pictures that were taken when she lived as a child in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.
