'The Universal Human Experience'

Kishan Munroe of Nassau will speak about his latest project:


"The Universal Human Experience"

THURSDAY 25th SEPTEMBER AT 7.30 PM


Paramount to Munroe's project is the investigation of peoples on opposing sides of various contemporary conflicts which have historically changed modern regional and global socio-cultural interaction. The range of the dialogue shall span a myriad of disputes; by way of example: the Holocaust to the Iraqi war to Haitian/Bahamian relations; the white/black racial divide; gang rivalry; controversial Australian Immigration practices; the war against Terrorism; and the Rwandan Civil War.
