There are three components to our project: a short film, a panel discussion, and an art exhibit. On October 13, the MS Museum of Art will premier a short film, host a panel discussion, and unveil an art exhibit comprised of photographs. The film will be presented in person and online via Zoom and Facebook Live followed by the panel discussion. The panel will be composed of Lorena Quiroz, Noel Didla, Ingrid Cruz, and immigrant community members who were impacted by the August 7, 2019, immigration raids. The purpose of the panel is to discuss lived experiences, the rapid response of MS organizers to the August 7, 2019, raids, and the future for immigrant
communities in Mississippi and immigrant justice in Mississippi. Questions from the audience and public will be answered. Following the panel discussion, the art exhibit will be unveiled and open to explore. This event is free and open to the public and takes into consideration accessibility (interpretation, online participation, etc.) and COVID-19.
