WHERE: UVic's David Lam Auditorium, MAC A144
WHEN: August 24/25, 2017
With academics, composers, performers and students from Hungary, Germany, France, England and Canada, these two days will prove to be an exciting and unique look into multi-countried, multi-generational narratives of memory, migration and xenophobia in the EU and in Canada. Students and academics will present, discuss and reflect on their recent tour of several historical sites within the EU and Canada pertaining to how the past informs the present within the context of migration and xenophobia.
Musical compositions written specifically for this topic will be presented, narrated and performed throughout the two day symposium.
