Event Details

The Center for Human Rights and the Arts, the Center for Experimental Humanities, the Human Rights Program, and the Center for Civic Engagement at Bard College are hosting a hybrid screening and discussion of The Bridge, a fictional film about the daily life of humanitarian interpreters, who are also refugees, in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. It aims to advocate for changes in their working conditions.

 

The film is based on research that Bard College Professor of Anthropology Laura Kunreuther did with interpreters at the camp. The interpreters, who are also the filmmakers who made the piece—Mulki Mohamed Ali, Adam Mohamed Bashar, and Kamoso Jean Bertrand—will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening.
