MacDonald Island is running a unique video exhibit that challenges you to see the world “through someone else’s eyes.”

The I See You: Sawubona project shares the stories of people who have survived various forms of discrimination.

The event page says it also allows us to question if we project our own biases and fears onto others.

The video exhibit is named after a greeting used by the Zulu people, but is translated more deeply by community leader Orland Bishop as an invitation to participate in each other’s lives.

The free exhibit is in the main concourse at MacDonald Island and open to the public weekdays from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It will be on display until March 15.
