The event, inspired by the themes of ‘Strangers,’ will delve into the profound influence of art in transforming the narrative around migration.
Panelists include: Ismail Einashe, renowned artist Tania Bruguera and Kate Porterfield PhD, consulting clinical psychologist at the Bellevue Hospital Program for Survivors of Torture in New York City. Bruce Shapiro, Director of the Dart Center, will moderate the discussion.
The main focus of the panel discussion will be on the relationship between art, trauma and migration to reshape our perception of ‘strangers.’ The panellist will discuss the need to move away from the often negative and stereotypical portrayal of migrants in media and politics, and instead emphasize their humanity. As Einashe argues in ‘Strangers,’ art has the potential to fill the gaps where politics and media have failed and allow us to see the migrant experience through a more humane and ethical lens. By showcasing the power of art, we can acknowledge the personhood of migrants and refugees and recognize the potential of their stories.
