'The Role Of The Arts In Understanding The Experiences Of Migration'
Researchers at Swansea University's Centre for Migration Policy Research (CMPR) are hosting the fourth in their series of one-day ESRC-funded seminars, which aim to increase understanding of the migrant experience.
The fourth seminar, entitled 'The role of the arts in understanding experiences of migration' will explore the use of the arts as a method for exploring migration and for enabling migrants to articulate and express their experiences. It will also explore the existence or otherwise of 'immigrant art' or 'refugee art' and the use of the arts as a mechanism for communicating 'the migrant experience' to a wider public and policy audience.
