The Arts of Integrating.
Alison Phipps, UNESCO Chair Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts
It’s not just a science.
They will give you numbers
metrics,
biometrics,
percentages,
politics
necropolitics
colonialisms
neocolonialisms
numbers denied
numbers detained
numbers deported.
But It’s not a science
And this is not an abstract.
Except it is
an abstract.
It’s abstract.
Look at it from this angle.
Turn it over.
See it from above,
from below.
Find the vanishing point
Find the line.
Let the colours
find you.
It’s an art.
Integrate the fragments
make it a whole.
