- Sep 305:30 PMMigration and Development Linkages in Latin AmericaNo single region has experienced a greater relative increase in migration than Latin America and the Caribbean over the last decade. Migratory flows have been changing—driven by environmental, social, and political factors—posing challenges for governments and host communities. However, could such changing patterns also generate opportunities for the region's development? At this event, Elisa Zogbi, US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Latin America and Caribbean Bureau, will discuss how USAID approaches migration issues and what challenges are faced in policy formulation and implementation, as well as explore the role of regional cooperation in managing migration flows. She will also address the economic aspects of migration, examining both the challenges and opportunities it presents.Speaker Biography Elisa Zogbi, Director for South American Affairs and Principal Officer for Venezuela within the US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Latin America and Caribbean Bureau ​Director of USAID/Colombia's Venezuela Response and Integration Office.

- Oct 1All dayPattern RecognitionThe concept of pattern in the arts provides artists with tools that can limit creativity or suggest new avenues for exploration. They can offer a maker innovative options to explore with their accustomed materials and techniques; at times present a designer a means of control; advance a range of new ornaments and motifs to work with; and impart a new understanding of the relation between functional and decorative form. This exhibition will look at the impact of pattern in the arts using the University Art Galleries collections.
