Local artist, Sophy Tuttle, pays a tribute to the relationship between migration in nature and immigration, following the 2026 Classroom to the Streets prompt “Where our power lies in difficult times”. Titling this piece, “The Power of Migration: The Paths We Take,” Sophy came up with this concept in collaboration with students and art and science teachers from Lynn Public Schools. This cohort reflected on the idea of Lynn being a safe haven and landing place for immigrant communities and how this makes the city stronger. By relating immigration to the natural world depicting migration patterns of monarchs, whales, and birds all native to Massachusetts, Sophy and her cohort were able to combine stories from both human and non-human worlds to weave a composition of elements that allude to the power and concept of home.
