MEADOWS PRIZE RESIDENCY
“This project includes three elements that get strong reactions from people-religion, immigration, and politics-and it asks, ‘is art able to change something?’,” said Tania Bruguera. “For my Meadows Prize residency, I wanted to do an action that engages people’s imagination. When I talk to people, I love seeing the moment of understanding, of ‘what if,’ that people have, even if they don’t agree necessarily with the cause. And, in another side of this project, I want to call on the Church to not simply provide charity, which they have done for centuries, but to implement long-term change and protection for immigrants and refugees everywhere.”
