This workshop provided a space for interested academics, practitioners and policy makers to critically engage with the evolving contemporary crises in North Africa. From the end of 2010, a series of unexpected popular uprisings have spread across North Africa and the Middle East. The dramatic unfolding of events has disrupted the ever changing patterns of mobility in the region in new and disturbing ways, including uprooting people,transforming existing migrants into refugees and constraining the movement of mobile populations. Some events, as in Egypt and Tunisia, have been largely peaceful, with political transitions under the mediation of the army. Other events have been brutal, with a witnessing of force of arms and violent suppression of the opposition in Libya.

Myrna Bullock is a noted artist, teacher and spiritual activist with decades of experience in dance from around the world. In 1998 she and her husband, Tim Bullock, walked the year-long Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage: Retracing the Journey of Slavery. Based in part, on this life altering journey, Myrna and Tim developed the long-term project, AIDS Pilgrimage Africa: A Walk for Global Healing, as a spiritual and physical response to the ever-growing pandemic of AIDS on the African continent. The mission of this project is to create a community of healing energy to share with the people of sub-Saharan African as they (and whoever joins them) walk in prayer and meditation, as well as transforming the people who walk and work with them through self-discovery by facing their personal issues and beliefs.They have been stopping to work in communities and do concrete projects of education and healing. Myrna Bullock speaks about their experience in Africa, and what it's like to live with almost no water, food, electricity as do the people in the villages they stay in as well as the joy of seeing the smiles on faces of sick people who have a chance to do art, dance, share information and be together in healing ways.
