Semester Project
For this project , I have chosen immigration as the social issue topic for my project. My topic is inspired by Aliza Nisenbaum who has painted portraits of immigrants giving them a voice and an identity. I want to achieve the same goal by doing a tumblr blog. Which will include interviews and videos based on immigrants especially women. I want to be able to empower these women and show off their success. My blog will also include Aliza Nisenbaum drawings , I will be connecting both Aliza's painting and immigration. I want this blog to show the struggles surrounding our communities. My blog will include photos, videos , and helpful websites. My blog will be called documenting the undocumented.
This is such an important topic, especially during this past year. If you need anymore research here's an article I remembered reading that relates to our class and possibly your project. It reveals the effects even immigrant artists are facing today as well: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/16/us/museum-removes-art-from-immigrants-trnd/index.html
