Join members of the (Re)Writing Migration Stories project to celebrate the opening
of our Healing and (Re)Building Connection through Art exhibit on the second floor
of Langson Library.
As people impacted by immigration policy, we took courses with Dr. Laura E. Enriquez
(Dept. of Chicano/Latino Studies) and traveled to Mexico to heal and (re)build our
connections to our country of origin. We are featuring our art in an exhibit documenting
our journeys.
We look forward to sharing our journey with you!
