II. Migrant Bodies
This was a multiyear project bringing together 16 artists (dancers, writers, visual artists) from Europe and Canada to address the theme of migrant bodies.  Watch one of the videos below, or pick something else from the video documentation (those of you who know French will be able to understand more of the videos than me).
