Open to the Public

The Colombia Migrant Festival is an initiative led and organized by Colombian victim organizations in exile. The festival was born with the intention of raising awareness, creating bonds, building community, and serving as a tool for symbolic and collective memory of forced Colombian migration.

The festival is a way for these organizations to come together to build a collective narrative of symbolic memory about the exile and forced migration of thousands of Colombians, through art and culture.

The event will showcase short films in Spanish (with live translation) related to the topics of environmental and migratory justice in Colombia and Latin America. These screenings will be accompanied by open discussions on the issues, featuring visiting panelists and MIIS faculty, with refreshments to follow.
