Join us for this participatory event in honor of the migrant deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border. The Hostile Terrain 94 exhibit, conceived by the Undocumented Migration Project and hosted by the Anthropology Department, consists of a large wall map of the U.S. Mexico border with ~3,200 tags pinned to it, representing migrants who died during the crossing due to inhumane border policies between 1994 and the present day. Each tag is filled out by volunteers. Find out more about Hostile Terrain 94 here.

A Mexican ofrenda (altar) will be built to remember all those who have died.
