José Faus, Speaker

Teacher, artist, and founder of the Latino Writers Collective in Kansas City

They Changed My Name

This presentation brings together the dynamics of immigration told through the lens of visual art and poetry. It showcases an interactive exploration of a personal journey from the heart of Colombia to the heart of the United States, exploring the conundrum of belonging in unfamiliar surroundings while straddling two different cultures and narratives.
