Embrace “do-it-yourself” culture this summer. Explore the Museum with family and friends during an interactive tour, then try your hand at an art-making activity led by a teaching artist. After touring the exhibition Border Cantos: Richard Misrach | Guillermo Galindo, think about place, journey, and identity and create your own map documenting a personal journey. All ages are welcome.
Through the lens of art, photographer Richard Misrach and composer Guillermo Galindo give presence to the thousands of undocumented immigrants who cross into the US each year and encourage a humanitarian perspective on the plight of all immigrants. By bringing the border down to human scale, and by putting politics in the context of individual human lives, Border Cantos offers a provocative response to the polarizing discussions around immigration reform that have dominated local and national politics, both today and throughout the history of this country.
