Before the opening of each Mediations exhibition, Meiselas invites members of the local Kurdish community to a workshop that gathers stories from different regions, working towards the goal of representing the Kurdish diaspora throughout the world.

The akaKURDISTAN story map is now exhibited with hanging booklets as part of Mediations containing stories and exchanges with the artist about their experiences and memories from the Kurdish region claimed and their exile, now memorialized through their participation in the project.
