Extraordinary art for social change initiative held at VCUQatar with the leadership of Dina Bangdel, UCLQ colleagues, and NRNA-Qatar. This collaborative community art project explores transcultural experiences within the theme of "City" -- where space and place respond to and generate palimpsest narratives of identity, memory; and community.
