The Canisius University Borders and Migrations Event Series presents an artist talk by Millie Chen on the "Silk Road Songbook" (SRS) project on Thursday, October 16, at 5:00 p.m. The event will take place in the Library Learning Center and is free and open to the public.

Chen will discuss the complex creative process behind SRS, an innovative audio-video and publication project currently on view at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo. The project weaves songs of resistance into landscapes along an ancient Eurasian migration route, broadcasting women's distinct, unruly voices from Istanbul, Tehran, Tashkent, Bishkek, and Xi'an.
