Author Description

The Outside The Margins book project rose out of a growing sense of urgency surrounding the Syrian refugee crisis. First an art auction, the project has since transformed from an endeavor to raise awareness about displacement into one creating a broader understanding of the fundamental factors that cause it. The project emphasizes poetics and art as a new paradigm for refugee aid and accompanying programs.While every member of the project had a defined role, everyone participated in every aspect of the project. We all contributed perspectives and design elements, and we all gave a piece of ourselves to the book. This is what ultimately made this project a collaborative art piece.
