Humanizando la Deportación/Humanizing Deportation:
A Digital Storytelling Project
Tuesday, November 14, 3:30-5:30 pm
Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum
Featured speakers:
Tina Shull, of Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC)
Darinka Carballo, director of Fundación Gaia – Acciones que nos guían al cambio, of Tijuana
The program will feature a screening of several of the 40 videos that the Humanizando la Deportación project team has produced to date, along with a discussion of the project’s goals and methods, as well as the challenges the research team has faced. The videos are well-worth watching and bring to live the experiences of many immigrants.

Here is the short explanation of the goal of the Humanizing Deportation project:
“In response to general lack of first-hand knowledge regarding the experience of deportation and removal, and the consequent dehumanized narratives on the topic, we are producing an online open access archive of personal stories about deportation. Policy debate on deportation tends to be driven by statistics, with little attention to human experience. This project will make visible a range of humanitarian issues that mass human displacement has generated as the result of its management on both sides of the US-Mexico border.”
