Shortlisted for an Oscar and screened at MoMA, Simple as Water is a documentary about the fallout of armed conflict in Syria, the extraordinary hurdles faced by displaced refugees, and, in turn, the resilience of refugees forced to form new lives in unexpected worlds. Snapshotting Syrian stories from around the globe, the documentary profiles a widow considering painful decisions about the future of her children on the border of Turkey and Syria, a mother of four living in tent in Greece, a young adult who has become a father figure to his younger brother in Pennsylvania, a father yearning to be reconnected with his children as he creates a life in Germany, and a woman who stays in Syria trying to answer painful questions about her family.

This is a free but ticketed event. Tickets will only be available for pick-up one hour prior to the performance. To guarantee your reservation, please pick-up your Will Call tickets at least 15 minutes prior to the performance.

Earlier this year, Myriam Nicodemus (@mnphotofilm), co-founder and co-owner of the EM EN Art House, was hired by the St. Joseph County Public Library (@sjcpl), United Religious Community of St. Joseph County (@unitedreligiouscommunity), And Neighbor-To-Neighbor (@neighbor2neighborsb)to photograph a series documenting refugees who now live in South Bend. One of the people she had the honor of photographing was Martin Lam Nguyen, C.S.C.

During the conversation, while photographing Fr. Martin for the Blurred Lives photography series, Fr. Martin learned that both Myriam and her partner, co-founder and co-owner of EM EN Khoa Huynh, are also immigrants. Fr. Martin shared one of his art pieces with Khoa and Myriam and explained the meaning behind it, which is his own journey as an immigrant. The connection between one another in that moment made both Khoa and Myriam feel less alone in this all-round journey as immigrants. At that moment, Myriam knew she had to create an event to highlight Fr. Martin’s incredibly profound artwork on a subject rarely discussed in length and publicly through such unique art in South Bend. Myriam and Khoa invited Fr. Martin to display his artwork reflecting his immigration journey at the EM EN Art House.

The art installation will be displayed at the EM EN Art House from October 27, 2023 to November 27, 2023.
