GHI2019 Refugees and Stateless Lives: What Can Art Do?

Recorded July 15, 2019. A workshop led by Professor Marianne Hirsch
(Columbia University) on the subject of refugees and statelessness,
posing the question: What can art do? Responding to the current
"refugee crisis" and its implications for the future of democracy,
this session builds on writings about statelessness from the
mid-twentieth century by Hannah Arendt and others. Looking in depth
at several diasporic art projects that respond specifically to
statelessness as a condition, Professor Hirsch discusses what
participatory art projects can do in the face of the traumatic
effects of nationalism and ethnocentrism, negation and
dispossession. Learn more at:
