Immigrant Voices in Art Panel

The Center for Identity + Inclusion at the University of Chicago creates intentionally diverse and inclusive communities, serving as a bridge builder by engaging students and members of the University community of all backgrounds to ensure personal, academic, and professional growth and success.

This winter, Student Support Services at the University of Chicago hosted their Immigrant Voices: Art & Advocacy panel, an evening of conversation and community featuring Chicagoland leaders working at the intersection of art and advocacy. Moderated by Lina Ferreira Cabeza-Vanegas, Assistant Professor in the Program in Creative Writing at the University of Chicago, the conversation highlighted the power of storytelling across mediums, coalition-building across communities, and how art can open space for dialogue, connection, and collective change.
