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.

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.

This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia TreibOpening reception Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the 4:30pm Art LectureCurated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

This presentation examines the intersection of literature, narrative medicine, and healthcare practices in addressing obstetric and gynecological violence. It highlights how French literature and social media platforms have shed light on these systemic issues, offering narratives that demand recognition and challenge patriarchal medical practices. In particular, the analysis underscores how storytelling serves as a site of resistance and awareness. The presentation also explores the application of narrative medicine to educate healthcare professionals and to foster empathy, decenter power dynamics, and address biases in patient care. By bridging the humanities and medical education, this presentation proposes narrative medicine as a transformative tool to challenge systemic inequalities and enhance care for marginalized groups, particularly women.Presented by Loïc Bourdeau, professor of French studies and the medical humanities, at National University of Ireland, MaynoothCo-Sponsored by Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (ROLA); Robert H.N. Ho Mind, Brain, and Behavior Initiative (MBBI) possibly: Women’s Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program (WGSS); and Global Public and Environmental Health Program (GPEH).Refreshments provided.

At the turn of the 20th century, many Europeans believed that globalization and internationalism were irreversible, and that they would guarantee greater peace and prosperity for everyone. Those illusions were shattered by the First World War, which ushered in two decades of anti-global retrenchment. While trade, migration, and international cooperation recovered briefly during the late 1920s, the Great Depression dealt a decisive blow.This talk explores the many consequences and legacies of that anti-global revolution. In democracies, dictatorships, empires and colonies, governments, experts, and ordinary people sought to untether themselves from the global economy. The revolt against globalization in the 1920s and 30s ignited political movements, remade the global economy and international institutions, and transformed the way millions of people traveled, ate, and lived. It also produced new models of globalization and internationalism. While the global economy ultimately recovered, many of the legacies of the first era of anti-globalism remain with us today, offering both a warning and a guide for our own anti-Global moment.Tara Zahra is the Hanna Holborn Gray Professor of History at the University of Chicago, and Roman Family Director of the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society. Her books include Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars (Norton, 2023); The Great Departure: Mass Migration from Eastern Europe and the Making of the Free World (Norton, 2016); The Lost Children: Reconstructing Europe’s Families after World War II (Harvard, 2011); and Kidnapped Souls: National Indifference and the Battle for Children in the Bohemian Lands (Cornell, 2008).
