Le francais suit\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The settlement journey of newcomers is often a period of change and adjustment to new communities and ways of life. This change can affect an individual\u2019s sense of belonging and create feelings of disconnect from cultural upbringing and traditions. Art in different forms, in time of this change, is often used as an outlet and method to process their settlement journeys. Additionally, art is used as a form of cultural exchange, bringing and sharing pieces of their traditions and culture with their new communities.  <\/p>\n

This AMSSATalk will bring together newcomer artists to discuss the impact of art as a form of cultural exchange when settling into B.C. In addition to sharing their art live with us, the presenters will reflect on their connection to their art as it relates to their immigration journey, the value of art as a medium of cultural exchange, and how the settlement sector can incorporate or use art as a means of establishing connections and promoting integration. <\/p>\n

Le parcours d\u2019\u00e9tablissement des nouveaux arrivants se caract\u00e9rise souvent par une p\u00e9riode de changement et d\u2019adaptation \u00e0 une nouvelle communaut\u00e9 et \u00e0 un nouveau mode de vie. Ce changement peut avoir des r\u00e9percussions sur le sentiment d\u2019appartenance d\u2019un individu et g\u00e9n\u00e9rer un sentiment de d\u00e9connexion par rapport \u00e0 la culture et aux traditions. En p\u00e9riode de changement, l\u2019art, sous ses diff\u00e9rentes formes, est souvent utilis\u00e9 comme un exutoire et une fa\u00e7on de surmonter les \u00e9preuves li\u00e9es au parcours d\u2019\u00e9tablissement. En outre, l\u2019art contribue \u00e0 une forme d\u2019\u00e9change culturel, o\u00f9 chaque personne transmet certaines traditions et certains \u00e9l\u00e9ments de leur culture avec sa nouvelle communaut\u00e9.  <\/p>\n

Ce panel AMSSATalk r\u00e9unira des artistes qui ont r\u00e9cemment immigr\u00e9 au pays pour discuter de la fa\u00e7on dont l\u2019art peut agir comme un vecteur d\u2019\u00e9changes culturels pour les nouveaux arrivants qui s\u2019\u00e9tablissent en Colombie-Britannique. En plus de partager leur art en direct avec nous, ces artistes parleront du lien entre leur art et leur parcours d\u2019immigration, de l\u2019apport de l\u2019art dans les \u00e9changes culturels et de la mani\u00e8re dont le secteur de l\u2019\u00e9tablissement pourrait tirer profit de l\u2019art pour tisser des liens et faciliter l\u2019int\u00e9gration des nouveaux arrivants. <\/p>\n

L\u2019art a toujours occup\u00e9 une place centrale dans la vie d\u2019Adriana, et il s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9 un outil essentiel pour s\u2019orienter tout au long de son parcours en tant qu\u2019immigrante de premi\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration.

La facilitation graphique agit comme la m\u00e9moire vivante de nos \u00e9changes. C\u2019est une mani\u00e8re de r\u00e9colter et de cartographier la sagesse collective, les histoires, les r\u00e9flexions, les enjeux et les engagements envers l\u2019avenir.

Le travail de Taraneh explore en profondeur les th\u00e8mes de l\u2019identit\u00e9, de l\u2019appartenance et de la transformation. Son prochain microalbum, Home Is a River, offre une r\u00e9flexion intime sur la signification changeante de la notion de \u00ab\u202fchez soi\u202f\u00bb et le cheminement \u00e9motionnel associ\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019immigration. <\/p>\n

Poss\u00e9dant une formation en histoire (Universit\u00e9 de Miami) et en politique internationale (Universit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine d\u2019Asie centrale), Walid participe activement \u00e0 des forums et \u00e0 des conf\u00e9rences internationales, pr\u00e9sentant le r\u00f4le transformateur de l\u2019art dans le d\u00e9veloppement soci\u00e9tal.

Faisant \u00e9cho \u00e0 une citation de Van Gogh, il affirme : \u00ab m\u00eame si nous sommes au plus profond de la mis\u00e8re, il y a encore du calme, de l\u2019harmonie pure et de la musique en nous.<\/p>\n

AUTRES ARTISTES MIS EN AVANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hasan Al-Saleh<\/strong> est n\u00e9 dans la ville historique de Damas, connue pour ses monuments historiques. Depuis son enfance, Hasan adore dessiner et cr\u00e9er des \u0153uvres d\u2019art avec du bois. Le dessin est demeur\u00e9 l\u2019un de ses passe-temps pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la fin de ses \u00e9tudes secondaires. Il aurait voulu \u00e9tudier \u00e0 la facult\u00e9 des beaux-arts, mais cela n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 possible en raison de sa situation. Au fil du temps, l\u2019art et le dessin ont occup\u00e9 de plus en plus de place dans sa vie. Il aime particuli\u00e8rement dessiner des monuments anciens qui racontent l\u2019histoire et des sc\u00e8nes de la nature.<\/p>\n
