Greetings!<\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce our upcoming conference call Forced to Flee: Exiled Voices and Visions for Justice<\/strong><\/a>, which we are presenting in collaboration with Arts & Democracy Project.<\/p>\n

Emotions conveyed and evoked by art and culture can open hearts and minds, heal and transform, build community across difference, and promote peace, equality and justice, advancing positive social change. In Forced to Flee, we will hear refugee artists, artists forced into exile, cultural organizers and their allies talk about how they are using the power of art and culture to amplify the voices and visions of those forced to flee their countries of origin.<\/p>\n

Presenters include:
\n\u2022 Sidd Joag, director of freeDimensional
\n\u2022 Chaw ei Thein, Burmese Artist and Activist
\n\u2022 Erika Berg, founder of Refugee Youth Empowered
\nand curator of Forced to Flee
\n\u2022 Leilani Chan, performance artists, cultural workers and co-creator of Refugee Nation<\/p>\n

The call will be moderated by Todd Lester (Arts-Policy Nexus \/ Lanchonete.org \/ Queer Art) and Kathie deNobriga (Arts & Democracy Project). Andrea Assaf (Art 2 Action) will be a respondent.<\/p>\n

We look forward to having you join us.<\/p>\n
