A Talk with Authors Valeria Luiselli and Juan Pablo Villalobos

This series of talks and workshops focused on rethinking, discussing, and finding paths toward empathy in the context of one of the most profound problems of contemporary global society: migration. In particular, the phenomenon of migration from Latin America to the US will be addressed. This week of events is focused on the cultural production from both sides of the US-Mexico border. Two internationally recognized and award-winning Latin American artists and writers will visit BC. Both produce works on migration, using fiction and non-fiction literature and electronic art installations. Their works focus on Central American undocumented immigrants into the US, particularly the experience of migrant children.
