Tomás Vega, Sue Jeiven, and Ahmed Badr | Resilience | Met Stories Ep 9
Watch Episode 9, in which Tomás Vega, a paralegal, describes his lifelong dream to work at The Met and how he finally had the chance to make that a reality when he received DACA status; Sue Jeiven, a tattoo artist, explains how vitally important The Met became to her when faced with a diagnosis of terminal breast cancer; and Ahmed Badr, founder of Narratio.org, and author of While the Earth Sleeps We Travel, tells how being a resettled Iraqi refugee gave him a unique understanding of the tensions at play in the Ancient Near Eastern galleries, which helped him gain power over his own story of displacement.
As part of The Met’s 150th anniversary, Met Stories is a new video series and year-long social media initiative that shares unexpected and compelling stories gathered from the many people who visit The Met, whether artists, teachers, curators, actors, museum staff, designers, thought-leaders, or public figures.
