The Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University will be hosting a Community Dialogue called “The Labor of Tourism: Migrants, Work, and Leisure in Atlantic City” on Monday, August 25th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
This event is free, open to the public and funded through the Monuments to Migration and Labor, a Mellon Foundation Monuments Project initiative.
At this Community Dialogue, attendees can expect a conversation about migrant and immigrant labor within the tourism industry in Atlantic City. Topics include past migration patterns, such as the Great Migration, as well as the impact of local immigration patterns on our tourism, gaming, and hospitality industries.
Dialogue Facilitators for this event are Ralph Hunter, Executive Director of The African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey (AAHMSNJ), and Cindy Mullock, Executive Director of the Harriet Tubman Museum. Community Artists Nastassia Davis (Atlantic City) and Chanelle René (Cape May County) will be creating artwork based on the conversations, which will be displayed as a traveling exhibition throughout South Jersey.
Parking rates vary by hour in the connected WAVE Garage, pay directly at kiosk upon departure. Alternatively, there is free street parking on Mississippi or Arctic Avenues in the Ducktown neighborhood.
