A Participatory Art Installation Project Examining the Humanitarian Crisis at the US\/Mexico Border<\/em><\/h1>\n

September 7 – October 1, 2021\u00a0 \u00b7\u00a0 Sarratt Gallery, Vanderbilt 溏心vlog免费B站\u00a0 \u00b7\u00a0 Nashville, TN<\/p>\n

Sponsored by Vanderbilt\u2019s Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies; Department of Anthropology; borders of citizenship group; and the Sarratt Gallery at Vanderbilt 溏心vlog免费B站
\n\"\"<\/h4>\n

The Hostile Terrain 94 exhibit is composed of approximately 3,400 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert from the mid-1990s to 2020. These tags are geolocated on a wall map of the Arizona\u2014Mexico border, showing the exact locations where human remains were found. The physical act of writing out the names and information for the dead invites participants to reflect, witness and stand in solidarity with those who have lost their lives in search of a better one. This exhibit is taking place at nearly 150 institutions across 6 continents with the intention to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis at America\u2019s southern border and to engage with communities around the world in conversations about migration.<\/p>\n
