About this event

Does stepping into a migrant's virtual "shoes" challenge inequality, or quietly reproduce it?

Assistant Professor Victor Espinosa, PhD, examines Carne y arena, a groundbreaking VR installation on undocumented migration, to explore how immersive art shapes viewers' emotions, interpretations and ethical judgments. Drawing on 95 first-person accounts, he reveals how the installation's sensory intensity generates powerful embodied reactions while often limiting understanding, agency and political engagement. He also highlights how contemporary art can illuminate, but also complicate, public perceptions of the global migration crisis. 

This event is free and open to the public.
