FAITH, FENCING, & FATE: New Cultural Landscapes of Migration in the United States-Mexico Borderlands

ARTIST TALK BY JUANITA SUNDBERG


7:00pm
Thursday August 12 2010

Venue: Rhizome Café
Address: 317 East Broadway, Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories
Cost: free

Crossing the Mexico/US border without authorization is now a life-threatening journey. As undocumented migrants travel north, they transform the landscape in small, yet significant ways through the things they leave behind, from shelters and shrines to quotidian objects. Join us for an artist talk by Juanita Sundberg, a human geographer at UBC, who teamed up with Arizona-based social documentary photographer Michael Hyatt to record these cultural landscapes of migration in Arizona's Altar Valley. Through images of artifacts left behind, Sundberg will challenge anti-immigrant rhetoric linking migration and environmental degradation and discuss humanitarian resistance efforts in the borderlands.
