Symposium
Refugees and Participatory Approaches: Bridging Narratives Through Research and Art
I initiated and co-organised the symposium Refugees and Participatory Approaches: Bridging Narratives Through Research and Art, which took place on April 8–9, 2024, at the Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. Bringing together scholars, filmmakers, and artists, the symposium explored participatory methods in research and art related to migration. Over 50 people came from around Europe and participated, it was great. The event was organised in collaboration with the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences and supported by the United Nations Information Centre Prague (UNIC) and UNHCR Czech Republic. More details and the full program are available on our website.
