Proximity was the word of the night at the first annual Project Ignite event. Hosted by pilgrimage alumni Samrawit Samuel, Davon White, and Karoline Ribeiro, alumni from all pilgrimages gathered at the Washington Stem site for the event. Project Ignite was both a celebration of, and a performance for Project Pilgrimage, honoring the people, ideas, and accomplishments since the Pilgrimages inception. Here’s a glimpse into the excitement.
