SPANISH FOR COMMUNITY (FHIS) last event of the year, Atreverse\/Atravesar (To Dare\/ToCross) Living Experiences of LGTBQ Latin American Refugees, with our partners, VAST, MOSAIC, I-Belong, UBC Social Justice Center, Latin American Studied Program. Learning, connecting, listening, empowering through language, storytelling, art and community.
\nFive years ago a group of our students in a service learning project translated a guide for the Refugees and Asylum Seekers Hearing Process, that still now is helping refugees claimants in BC and other provinces in navigating their difficult legal journey to be accepted in Canada. Now, years later, we have had the opportunity to meet once again some of the many people we served while learning through community engaged pedagogy, this time LGTBQ folks, a minority inside a minority. Our guest participants Jorge, Jennifer, Osiris, Miriam and Gregoria shared with us, students, faculty, and the community, stories and reflections, they answered our questions with honesty and courage.
\nWe ended bringing art to action by the hand of one of the Masquerade exhibition\u2019s artist, Andi Icaza with a collective piece, a communal canvas we all painted, with a question: \u201cWhat heals us\u201d? Qu\u00e9 nos sana?
\nMy deepest thank you to all participants, the colleagues and friends that came, the Hatch Gallery, Maxim and Andi , Matias and Sara from Vast and Zaarghona from Mosaic, our student liaison Jacob Fisher Credo, Paige for the media team images and video and Hari for the images, Stephanie and Jacob for interpreting. And finally to my friend, \u201ccumpay\u201d and inspiration, Maria Adelaida Escobar, for everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
