CHRONICLING AND DOCUMENTING THE CONFERENCE
We invited several participants to document and chronicle the conference from their perspective, and to produce
various reflective and creative outputs inspired by what they experienced and observed. We are delighted to share
several of these outputs with you!

Presence of a Stateless Person”,
combining her whimsical artwork with the
