José Faus, Speaker

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

 

They Changed My Name

Presentation by: José Faus

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.
