Leaving home can be as complicated as living there and as inescapable as our own DNA. What’s it like to have your ancestors come from a land that no longer exists on any map, or what’s it like to grow up in a place you love but doesn’t seem to love you back?
Kerri’s talk "Living There, Leaving There" will explore the impacts of economic and environmental degradation in the contexts of intergenerational bonds. Her remarks will be livestreamed and in person panelists will respond following her keynote address.
