Immigration Officers: Immigration and Sarah J

immigration officers: On Thursday, the school will debut its modernized version of Porter's Within the Quota, according to Metro News. The ballet is one of several productions happening across the country in reaction to the administration's immigration policy, including a Boulder, Colorado, play featuring immigrants and immigration officers and a Los Angeles play touching on themes of terrorism and immigration detention centres . They are part of a long history of art as a form of activism and political resistance that can help people connect the struggles of the moment with the struggles of the past, said Sarah J. Jackson, a communications studies professor at Northeastern University. Nearly a century later, the ballet is being revived by a Princeton University music professor troubled by President Donald Trump's actions on immigration. Art is a form that can often reach people that might not engage in more traditional spaces of politics or activism, Jackson said. With theatre and other forms of art, you're bringing people into a space and introducing them to a set of ideas in a thought-provoking way without doing the thing they might be uncomfortable with making it an explicitly political space. Most people will never lobby at a statehouse for a bill, or go to a rally or protest in their life. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
