Refugee Mobilities in Contemporary Art and Popular Culture

NIAS Seminar

Nilgun Bayraktar, Assistant Professor of Film at California College of the Arts, is holding a seminar on refugee mobilities in contemporary art and popular culture.

How can art and popular culture respond to the growing number of refugees and displaced people around the world? How can images communicate the diverse experiences of displacement, statelessness, and border crossing? How can we rethink refugee narratives outside the “crisis” or “emergency” framework?
