Goals:   (a) visiting detainees (b) online course (planning and media outreach) (c) From April 6-12, the Casa Frela Gallery in Harlem has offered its space in order that members of New York's Senegalese community can meet and plan a unified message on the situation of detained/warehoused Senegalese in the US. This process will culminate in the NYC Immigrant History Week event 'There to Here: African Immigrants in NYC' on April 19th The Shrine (venue) also in Harlem.

Whereas the Senegalese community in NYC will add to the testimony of the detained economic migrants, the SFAI workshop will give an artistic treatment to the English/French/Wolof text compiled moving it from mere content to aesthetically viable pamphlet graphically designed to capture the attention of Dakar citizens, art world visitors and international journalists covering the Biennale.
