UndocuJoy: Shifting the Perspective in Undocumented Representation with Yosimar Reyes

October 2nd @ 1:00 pm - 2:20 pm

As the media focuses on gloom and doom narratives concerning undocumented immigrants in this country Yosimar offers an insightful look at the ways in which undocumented artists are resisting narratives of fear and creating works that give people hope. In this presentation Reyes explores the ideas of agency and allowing undocumented people to exist beyond narratives of deportations.

Yosimar Reyes is a nationally-acclaimed poet, public speaker, and performing artist. Read more about Yosimar here: https://yosimarreyes.com/bio.
