exhibition that provides a visual arts component to the IRW
interdisciplinary seminar.
Jenny Polak “designs and installs fictional architectural hiding
and dwelling places for people without immigration papers… In
alluding to illegal assistance of undocumented and stateless people, I
draw on my life as a resident alien, my migratory family history, and
current events.”

The Culture of Rights/The Rights of Culture: Loren Schwerd, a juried
exhibition that provides a visual arts component to the IRW
interdisciplinary seminar.
Loren Schwerd has created a series of memorials to the communities of
New Orleans that were devastated by the flooding following Hurricane
Katrina, using human hair as one of her materials. “Hair acts as
the essential metaphor for these works by evoking a sense of profound
intimacy and absence, by referring to Victorian mourning practices,
and by incorporating the racial politics that have paralyzed the
city's recovery effort.”
