Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory exhibition created by the Undocumented Migration Project, a non-profit organization that focuses on the social process of immigration and raises awareness through research, education, and outreach.The 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 large wall map of the Arizona-Mexico 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 over 120 institutions across 6 continents with the intention to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis at America’s southern border and to engage with communities around the world in conversations about migration.The construction of HT94 is made possible by teams of volunteers from each hosting location, who participate in tag-filling workshops, where they write the details of the dead and then publicly place the tags on the map – in the exact location where each individual's remains were found. Some tags also contain QR codes that link to content related to migrant stories and visuals connected to immigration. - Oct 910:00 AMPicker Art Gallery Exhibition: X: Gender, Identity, PresenceAcademics | Dana Arts Center, Picker Art Gallery, 2nd Floor
Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.
