Stories of Immigration

This event is no longer on sale.

Thursday February 18

4:30 PM  –  5:45 PM

 

How can viewing contemporary art help us unpack and discuss themes surrounding immigration? Join us for an inside look at the exhibitions Jose Alvarez (D.O.P.A): The Krome Drawings and María Berrío: Esperando mientras la noche florece (Waiting for the Night to Bloom) live from the galleries. Alvarez and Berrío use art as a means of exploring their personal histories with immigration, but in two very different ways, reminding us that immigration experiences are varied and multifaceted.

We'll also hear from the Farmworker's Coordinating Council, Inc. about how they provide human and social services.

After the professional development workshop in the galleries, join the Norton at 6pm for a conversation with Jose Alvarez. You may sign up for both the PD workshop and talk with Jose Alvarez through this registration.

This workshop is for K-12 educators from all subject areas. District of Palm Beach County teachers may receive in-service credit for this workshop by filling out an F2401 form on the ELM learning system.
