Sahara: Acts of Memory
The publication further illuminates the Berbi膰 family鈥檚 refugee story and the identity project by Ismet. In the lead essay, curator Karen Kice discusses Ismet鈥檚 and Amir鈥檚 use of design as an expansive tool and contextualizes it within design history. She also looks at the role of design in Sahara in relation to other contemporary refugee projects, in which design extends beyond the basic human needs of shelter and clothing to address needs of identity and dignity. Reflections by Joanne Nucho, assistant professor of anthropology at 麻豆影视, and Wendy Pearlman, professor of political science at Northwestern University, provide insights into the dynamics of refugee communities today. The catalog also includes an oral history by the Berbi膰 family that expands upon their experience as refugees and chronicles how this project impacted their lives. Design: Naveen Hattis
