Second Draft

Course Title: Movement

Movement is something we all do. Whether it is physical or societal, our fast-paced and chaotic world is always moving. Ever wonder why? In this workshop, we will explore a particular form of human movement - forced migration. Drawing on examples from the past and the present, we will discuss how people use the arts ​(music, dance, poetry, painting, cartoons) to deal with the difficult conditions that come with displacement and we will draw parallels to ​our own experiences and those of our neighbors.
