The Cara a Cara Symposium: Creative and Critical Perspectives by Migrants

Join us on December 11 at Rutgers University—Newark for the Cara a Cara/Face to Face Symposium.

This all-day signature event sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice; the Sheila Y. Oliver Center for Politics and Race in America (CPRA); RU-N Cultural Programming; the Clement A. Price Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and the Modern Experience, the Intercultural Resource Center (IRC) and Global Asias will bring together three migrant artists and activists from the NYC/NJ area to engage students to think together about how often immigrants are imagined as undesirable and how artists respond to dehumanization tactics.

The symposium will be curated to interact students with media, attend poetry writing workshops, or listen to a critical conversation between artists and scholars. Students will learn the power of art up close in times of crisis. Centering undocumented immigrant lives in dialogue with other minoritized people (Asian, queer, mixed race Latinx) through a humanistic and artistic lens, this symposium will gather our campus community to practice care collectively.

Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
