We hope you can join us! If you have any questions about the program, please contact Jennifer Nice at jennif...@berkeley.edu.
A Year on Angel Island
A Year on Angel Island is an exciting year of courses, performances, exhibitions, public lectures, and creative projects using the Angel Island Immigration Station as an observatory from which to consider histories and futures of migration, exclusion, and belonging through the arts, humanities, social sciences, and environmental design disciplines. Our fall A+D Fridays public lecture series, Landscapes of Migration, Incarceration, and Resistance, features artists, scholars, and activists. Students can attend field trips to Angel Island, help create a public art/storytelling project at Angel Island in the spring by participating in our fall Angel Island Townsend Working Group, conduct archival and family research using our research guides; and submit projects and papers to a spring symposium on immigration. See our Guide to A Year on Angel Island for student engagement opportunities and visit our website for the most updated information.
