Syrian Artist and Architect Mohamad Hafez will speak at St. Johnsbury Academy on Thursday, September 15 at 7PM in the Stuart Black Box Theater in the Charles Hosmer Morse Center for the Arts.

Mr. Hafez will offer a very personal view of what it is like for an upper class family from Damascus, Syria to become forced migrants, shedding light on their lives before and after, decision points, forced hands, and adjustment to new realities. This will be an opportunity to better understand what the biggest humanitarian crisis since World War II looks like to an individual and family who have been through it.

This event is free and open to the public.
