Our communities in Vermont include diverse cultures influenced by immigrant and refugee communities. We can think about some as cultures of diaspora, a word referring to a group of people dispersed beyond their traditional homeland or point of origin. What are some examples of diaspora culture here and now? How do creators bridge artistic, historical, and linguistic traditions to the new conditions and possibilities they encounter here?

Pablo Bose, a UVM researcher working with immigrant-serving organizations, moderates a lively conversation with Negina Azimi and Abdullah Hafizi of the global arts collective ArtLords (originally based in Afghanistan) and exhibiting artist Paula Higa (Brazil/US). Following our program, we will stay open until 8 pm for an informal reception. Co-sponsored by UVM Global and Regional Studies.
