NPR did a piece yesterday on Syrian artists who were denied visas to the U.S. due to their status as refugees. Syria: The Trojan Women was to be performed by 12 Syrian women at Georgetown University and Columbia University in the City of New York. According to the artists’ website: “The Syria Trojan Women project combines drama therapy and strategic communications. We aim to help refugees work through PTSD, depression and mental anxiety via suitably chosen drama projects. We try where possible to provide some paid employment for refugees. We also work to help refugees and their host communities to understand each other. Through our drama projects we also spread awareness of the Syrian refugee crisis.“
