Today several contemporary artists are using their artistic talents to help bring attention to the immigration debate. Westover School, the independent school where author Sara Poskas teaches, decided to address these issues by inviting one such artist--award-winning artist and architect Mohamad Hafez, a native-born Syrian, raised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to oversee a term-long project. Drawing from his own life experiences, Hafez has become a leading voice for refugees around the globe. In creating this project, the school, together with Hafez, addressed the concept of what makes a "home," as well as what the loss--and gain--of a home means. Hafez collaborated with Poskas, to oversee the term-long course, Exploration and Expression, in which he asked each student to depict their own unique concept of home using found objects. Eventually this project grew in scope, involving the wider school community. In the end, Hafez's work with the class turned out to be much more than just an artist residency. By involving faculty from several disciplines from the beginning, and having an open-door policy so that students, faculty, and administrators could join during the process, the project grew far beyond a sculpture project to include substantive learning in history, immigration, geography, world religions, and memoirs.
