Event Description:

Hostile Terrain 94 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 representing migrants who died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert from the mid-1990s to 2020. Speakers from Immigrant Allies of Marshalltown will discuss their advocacy work and/or their own experience as undocumented migrants. The exhibit is sponsored and funded by the Grinnell College Anthropology Department, with additional support from the Grinnell College Center for the Humanities, Grinnell College Rosenfield Program, and the Grinnell College Museum of Art.
