Watch this for class tomorrow

Here is a link to performance artist Wafaa Bilal, an Iraqi American who works with the tension between the states and the Middle East.  For homework, in addition to the writing assignment, watch this video and start thinking of questions, conversations, similar artists, etc. to discuss tomorrow.  

The video is about his visiting artist's status at a school near Albany, NY.  He was, after being invited to discuss and perform, asked to leave the school and cancel all speaking obligations.  Independent Media helped him show what happened during his visit and documented the reactions of the citizens.  

Think about this in the contexts of your books and your writing/art.  Be prepared for a discussion that you will lead.
