Travel Ban Forum
with Artists and Immigration Experts

5:45 pm Monday, February 17, 2020

Lewis Katz Building Auditorium

Free and open to the public

Have you ever imagined how music and art could help in delivering a social message? The Kronos Quartet created “Music for Change: The Banned Countries” in protest against the presidential actions banning people from largely Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. 

Join the Penn State Law Center for Immigrants’ Rights Clinic and the Center for the Performing Arts for a Travel Ban forum highlighting the connection between the arts and the law, while discussing the newly expanded travel ban. The event features artists (David Harrington and Mahsa Vahdat) and several immigration experts (Abed A. Ayoub, Mahsa Khanbabai, and Professor Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia).

The panel of artists and immigration experts will speak on the latest travel ban with a moderated question-and-answer period. A light reception and listening session will immediately follow.
