SUMMARY:Closing of Vinny and David: Life and Incarceration of a Family
DESCRIPTION:Join ART WORKS Projects for the closing of Vinny and David: Life and Incarceration of a Family\, a five-year photo essay by 2017 Emerging Lens winner Isadora Kosofsky. This essay documents one family’s experiences with recurring periods of juvenile and adult incarceration. Beverages and food from Wow Bao provided. Presented by AWP’s NextGen Committee. \n  \n  \nFor the past five years\, I have documented the relationship between families and incarceration\, focusing on lost intimacy and love as a locus to investigate humanistic elements of the criminal justice system. In the midst of understanding shattered and mended familial bonds in my present life\, Vinny and David comments on private questions about the nature of brotherly bonds and alienation. – Isadora Kosofsky \n  \n  \nVinny and David began when Isadora Kosofsky encountered Vinny\, then age 13\, as he was being booked into a juvenile detention center for stabbing his mother’s assailant in 2012. Since that time\, Kosofsky has forged an ongoing relationship with Vinny\, his older brother David\, and the rest of their family as she documents their navigation of life both inside and outside of New Mexico’s juvenile and adult prison systems. \n  \n  \nPhoto: Isadora Kosofsky\, Albuquerque\, 2012. Vinny eats his first meal in the detention center cafeteria.

SUMMARY:Youth\, Culture\, & Assimilation
DESCRIPTION:Youth\, Culture\, and Assimilation explores the delicate process of assimilation as young refugees balance honoring family and societal cultures and traditions from home countries with adapting to a new life in the United States. The process can be both exciting and challenging\, as youth often adapt more quickly to new languages and cultural norms\, which assists in the assimilation process but can also lead to family tensions\, a sense of loss\, and uncertainty about belonging. \n  \nThis program will explore the resettlement process through poetry and spoken words as youth share their journey navigating culture and identity\, both from their homeland and in a new country. \n  \nThis program is free and open to the public.\nRefreshments provided by Nando’s Peri-Peri.\nFor parking information and directions to our studio click here. \n  \nIf you are interested in speaking or performing at this event\, please contact Annalise Taylor at ataylor@artworksprojects.org. \n  \n625 at 6:25  is ART WORKS Projects’ cornerstone program designed to give audiences the opportunity to learn about and discuss a range of regional and global human rights and social justice topics with photographers\, journalists\, diplomats\, academics\, advocates\, and humanitarian providers. Questions and conversations are highly encouraged.  \n  \nPhoto: Julia Rendleman\, Pittsburgh\, 2015. Shamikcha Gurung practices her dance routine backstage during a cultural show at Brashear High School in Pittsburgh.

Through photographs\, moving graphics\, and music\, viewers have an opportunity to trace the journey of a family during the catastrophic events of displacement\, on a path to sanctuary\, and through the long process of rebuilding life in a new community. Sanctuary/Sustenance aims to raise the public consciousness of these issues to a wide variety of people\, and facilitate conversations about our collective responsibility to welcome refugees and encourage policy makers to act in favor of fundamental human rights for refugees and asylum seekers. \n  \nAn estimated 1.3 million refugees in the United States are believed to be survivors of politically sanctioned torture\, according to  the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT). Those who have survived torture or other forms of direct\, conflict-related persecution often face significant challenges that  serve as additional barriers in the resettlement process. \n  \nUnderstanding the issues facing refugees who are survivors of torture is important to ensuring that medical\, mental health\, and social services support healing while these individuals navigate resettlement.  Living on the Margins – Refugees Surviving Torture and Beyond explores the effects of torture and trauma in conflict settings and the healing support needed as refugees resettle. Speakers and community members will engage in discussion about this vulnerable refugee population to support integration into host communities through better understanding their past experience and its impact on their daily lives. \n  \nSpeakers \nMarianne Joyce\, LCSW – Majorie Kovler Center\, Social Services Manager \nAlisa Roadcup – Executive Director\, Heshima Kenya \nWendy Pearlman – Associate Professor at Northwestern University\, author of We Crossed a Bridge and it Trembled: Voices from Syria (June 2017) \nAbdinasir Kahin – former refugee from Somalia\, resettled in Chicago in 2002 \nSanctuary/Sustenance photographer Misael Virgen (San Diego) will also give a short presentation on his experience shooting for this exhibition.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary/Sustenance: Resettlement Realities
DESCRIPTION:ART WORKS Projects is pleased to announce our spring exhibition Sanctuary/Sustenance: The Story of Many Journeys. Through photographs\, moving graphics\, and music\, viewers have an opportunity to trace the journey of a family during the catastrophic events of displacement\, on a path to sanctuary\, and through the long process of rebuilding life in a new community. Sanctuary/Sustenance aims to raise the public consciousness of these issues to a wide variety of people\, and facilitate conversations about our collective responsibility to welcome refugees and encourage policy makers to act in favor of fundamental human rights for refugees and asylum seekers. \n  \nMore than 65 million people globally have been forcibly displaced due to war\, persecution\, violence\, natural disaster\, and other factors\, including 21.3 million refugees. For most refugees\, seeking safe refuge is the beginning of a journey that can take years – even decades – on the path to resettlement. \n  \nResettlement Realities seeks to develop a better understanding of the complex and multidimensional resettlement processes\, both globally and in the United States. This discussion provides a forum for dialogue that includes refugees who have experienced resettlement and the host communities who welcome them\, as well as those who devote their time and resources to Chicago’s refugee populations. \n  \nThis afternoon program will consist of a reception for Chicago’s refugee resettlement organizations and the communities they serve\, a performance\, and a panel discussion/community conversation. It is free and open to the public. \n  \nReception: 12-1:15 \nPerformance by Abraham Mellish: 1:15-1:35 \nPanel: 1:45-3 \nSpeakers \nGalya Ben-Arieh (Ruffer)\, PhD – Director of the Center for Forced Migration Studies\, Northwestern University \nMajid Baban – former refugee resettled in Chicago in 2015 \nEmad Tayefeh – NU artist in residence\, pilot program for artist-scholar refugees \nZean Dunbar – Program Coordinator\, Center for Forced Migration Studies\, Northwestern University \n  \nPlease click here to register to attend Resettlement Realities and check the Facebook event page for updates.
