Talk and book signing for “Women and Migration” at Parish Art Museum

Join presentations, conversations, and a book signing by and about women artists and their profound and turbulent experiences of migration through the lenses of politics and war, love, and family. With Kathy Engel, Chair and Associate Arts Professor Tisch School of the Arts Department of Art and Public Policy and Master’s Program in Arts Politics, NYU; Ellyn Toscano, Senior Director of Programing, Partnerships and Community Engagement for NYU in Brooklyn; and Grace Aneiza Ali, Founder and Editorial Director, OF NOTE.

Women and Migration: Responses in Art and History (edited by Deborah Willis, Ellyn Toscano, and Kalia Brooks Nelson) is a collection of essays that charts how women’s experiences of migration have been articulated in writing, photography, art and film, covering the Caribbean Diaspora, refugees, and slavery. The contributors, which include academics and artists, offer both personal and critical points of view on the artistic and historical repositories of these experiences.
