a vital, heartbreakingly beautiful exhibit, @UnpackedRefugee, at the #YaleLawSchool, seeking to humanize the word ‘refugee.’ If you do anything this week, it should be seeing this multimedia installation. Truly life changing.
“Give the narratives back to the people that they belong to, and ask how they are taking in their experience and how they’re choosing to express it to the world.”
Thank you @HarvardPolitics for highlighting the nuanced advocacy of @UnpackedRefugee

Had the great experience today of seeing exhibition co-curated by @wesleyan_u student @uBadr on the losses, memories, and artifacts from the experiences of refugees. @WesCFA#Unpacked https://t.co/zAA7uywVCE

My latest feature for @AJEnglish on @Mhafez100, the Syrian-American architect and artist who recreates the beautiful architectural splendour of his home-city, Damascus, as well as the haunting skeletons of its buildings now destroyed by the war.
