Art Is Survival - Film Screening and Dialogue: Exploring the Power of Art in the Face of Adversity – Healing Wounds, Fueling Hope, and Building Dignified Futures

Abstract

We propose a conference session that uses our feature documentary, We Name Ourselves, as a springboard for a participatory discussion about the role of art in contexts of extreme adversity. The session will include a curated excerpt screening from the film, followed by an introduction to our impact campaign and a panel discussion featuring the film’s teenage protagonists, the director and producers of the film.
