Bringing Home the Global Diaspora through Art’ with Irish Artist Julie Moorhouse
In Ireland, Julie Moorhouse uses her art to express the phenomenon of displacement of people that affects populations worldwide. Ms. Moorhouse visited Mesa Community College during November, 2005. Julie demonstrated her project strategy in which she invites immigrants to be the subjects of her art. She showed us how our future teachers can work with children to forge personal links that foster understanding and build a culture of peace. Her work in Ireland and in Arizona gives us a powerful vision for teaching children of all ages respect for human dignity.
