In Conversation with The Migration Series. The exhibition, presenting 29 works by emerging Pakisani artists and 20 works by students
In Conversation with The Migration Series. In April 2013, the Phillips partnered with the US Department of State to conduct a series of workshops in Pakistan focusing on art and social change. Using Jacob Lawrence's The Migration Series (1940-41) as a catalyst for conversation about the power of storytelling through art, emerging artists, middle and high school students, art educators, and museum professionals worked together to create visual narratives about identity, personal struggle, and Pakistani history. The exhibition, presenting 29 works by emerging Pakisani artists and 20 works by students, continues the Phillips's history of being a leader in international cultural diplomacy.
