Throughout the content of this essay I am going to be concentrating on Adrian Piper and Oreet Ashery who have both focused on their bodies as a means to pinpoint alternative models of representation that address gender and race. As well as this I will be discussing to what extent both artists resist the discourse of western patriarchal society.

“Greece? Why Greece? Why would you ever want to go study in a failed nation like Greece?,” my parents asked me. I was taken aback. Little did they know that my interest in Greek society and culture would motivate me to apply to the Harvard Study Abroad program. Even without a personal connection to Greece, I am longing to immerse myself within the country and its people. That is where HSS comes in.

There is a rich tradition of poets-in-exile; I have chosen Mahmoud Darwish as representative and his book Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone? as the particular vehicle under question.
