| Leaving Home by Jane Gregorius |
PVAC invites your participation in an exhibit which explores the complex issues surrounding immigration. We are looking for art submissions in all media, which consider stories of leaving and arriving: the stories of immigration. Subjects could include:
* Personal family stories
* What immigrants take with them and what they leave behind
* Effects of immigration on the individual
* Effects on the countries/families left behind
* Effects on the new communities: how are immigrants perceived, received, integrated?
* Assimilation/ Americanization: how do people start over and build community in a new country and culture?
* Historical impacts of social and cultural migration
* Experiences upon arrival including language, living conditions and work
* What does prejudice/classism look, sound, and feel like?
* Implications of status (illegal, alien, naturalized, citizenship)
