Employing the virtual version of the traveling exhibition "A History of Walls: The Borders We Build," the authors developed a creative writing and visual literacy workshop series for high school students based on people's complex relationships with four border walls (China, Berlin, Israel-Palestine, and U.S.-Mexico) from multiple perspectives. This project allowed Arizona State Museum to make meaningful community connections during COVID-19 shutdowns. The workshop led students to feel the importance of human stories in fostering understanding, and it empowered their voices.
