Parallel Session 1b: Migrants, Mouthpieces and Crisis: Problematising Representations of
the ‘Ideal' Citizen (Chair: Alastair Christie)
Venue: ORB 212, O’Rahilly Building
This multi-disciplinary session will take a ‘soapbox and roundtable’ format. It draws inspiration from
the art work Mouthpiece (Porte Parole; 1996). Mouthpiece is an instrument which honours and
supports the complexity of migrant voice(s) and lives, in contrast to ‘liberal' societal techniques of
detaining non-status migrants, and shaping assimilationist representations of ‘good migrants’ which
restrict their freedom of speech. It was created by Polish born, US based artist Krzysztof Wodicxko
(see http://rhizome.org/editorial/2010/jan/26/porte-parole-mouthpiece-1996-krzysztof-wodiczkoan/). Speakers include: Tiedong Yang (Office for Integration, Dublin City Council); Nita Mashra (Poet
and PhD Candidate UCC); a speaker from the Cork branch of Anti-Deportation Ireland; Smadar Lavie
(Visiting Professor, ISS21); Nally Silva and Pablo Rojas Coppari (Migrant Rights Centre of Ireland);
Jennifer DeWan (Nasc: Irish Immigrant Support Centre).
