Event Description:

Panel Discussion: Art and Immigration Policy

Time:

April 11, 2018; 6:30-8:30 PM

Description:
This panel will draw upon the themes raised by “Internalized Borders,” an exhibition that examines the ways that language and legal systems create internal and external borders. Visual Culture and language have a profound effect on how we as a country vote in political elections and also affect the national point of view. Historically, the cultural production of such images and language defined how people were seen by their governing institutions and by society in general. Some of the language created to define them has stayed permanently in the system or been challenged by society. What is the responsibility of lawmakers, historians, and cultural producers, in how we define people currently and in the future?

Come listen to engaged lawmakers, an art historian and artists speak about the current legal battles and other challenges around immigration. The conversation, moderated by Caitlin Cahill, features State Senator Marisol Alcántara; Anjana Samant, Assistant Attorney General of the New York State Attorney General’s Civil Rights Bureau; spoken word artist Danyeli Rodriguez Del Orbe; and visual artists Francisco Donoso, Shahrzad Changalvaee, and Alva Mooses. The panel will begin with a short introduction by the curators of “Internalized Borders,” art historian Susan Noyes Platt and visual artist Maria de Los Angeles.
