Art Department faculty member Sabina Haque has Storylines, video and installation themed on conflict in the horn of Africa, exmigration from war-civil war zones and narratives gathered from Somalians in Portland.

There will be a panel discussion October 22, at 6:30PM-8 on the show and the recent history that inspires it.
