Crossing Borders: Displacement and Transcendence

Green-Wood is proud to partner with Bard Graduate Center to present Border Crossings: This and Other Worlds. The weekend of programs and performances at Green-Wood explores the physical and metaphysical border between life and death.

Join us for insights, advice, and hope from some of the nation’s most distinguished and proactive advocates for immigrants and refugees:

  • Robin Reineke is an anthropologist and founder of the Colibri Center, a family advocacy organization working to end migrant death and related suffering on the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • Becca Heller is a 2018 MacArthur Genius Award recipient, human rights lawyer and co-founder of the International Refugee Assistance Project which has helped over 200,000 refugees and displaced persons find their way to safety.
  • Simon Robins is a humanitarian practitioner and researcher who has consulted for the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Centre for Transitional Justice. Robins has extensive experience living in and working with post-conflict societies, particularly East Timor-Leste, Uganda, and Nepal.

This program is organized in collaboration with The Colibri Center for Human Rights in Tucson
