Dispelling Refugee Myths: Creating Art and Rhetoric on Refugee Immigration in the Trump Era
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Karen Chen’s human rights capstone project centered around her previous work with Refugee Services of Texas (RSTX) and aimed to create a visual art series broadcasting the message that refugee immigration enriches our communities. Concerned over the low refugee resettlement numbers at RSTX that occurred during the Trump’s presidency (less than 100 a day) and recognizing the political and social consequences the Trump administration had on the public outlook on refugees, her work with RSTX culminated in a series of works in music, visual arts, and performance. Her individual art piece for the capstone project depicts the return of refugees to various communities and the impacts on societal views on refugees in America. Additionally, she also worked with RSTX to facilitate the creation of a digital interactive dispelling common refugee myths.
