Edwidge Danticat: The Duty of Immigrant Artists
Haiti's devastating earthquake stirred the world into action, but celebrated Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat believes it shouldn't take a natural disaster to expose a countryâs suffering. MacArthur awardee Danticat, author of Create Dangerously, says immigrant artists from countries in crisis bear a responsibility to produce works that testify to the violence, oppression, poverty, and tragedy in their homelands. Presented by The Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by Publicola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust and the RealNetworks Foundation.
