Around challenging lives of refugees, “Exinclusivity -Space of Inclusion” is a project designed to be a multi-media installation piece which consists of interviews, singing and other contributions from participants who are refugees or asylees. The core idea of this project is around how cultural expressions such as singing and writing can possibly support the process of psychological and physical survival over their experience of migration.
The exhibition will be held at Kala Art Institute, Berkeley in October 2019.
