About the event
A roundtable discussion with writers Suad Aldara, Raquel McKee, Melatu Uche Okorie and Csilla Toldy.
Thresholds represent the physical, legal, social or psychological barriers that immigrants must overcome in pursuit of a better life or safety. Immigrants must find their place, voice and sense of belonging in a new environment despite feeling a sense of displacement, disorientation and ambiguity as they transition from their former lives, navigating to new realities, identities and ways of existing. This panel will explore the complexities, struggles and transformative experiences of immigrants and their journeys to new homes and identities.
