Crossroads Gallery @ Downtown South Bend The Institute for Latino Studies presents: Migraciones/Migrations This portfolio of photogravures brings together four photographers’ visions of the problematic border where northern Mexico and the southern United States meet. The images range from the arid desolation of the landscape that has left so many dead to the warmth of human love in its everyday expressions; from loneliness and mortal peril to children playing in happy ignorance of the dangerous world around them. The portfolio attests not only to the conflicts inherent in the region but also to cultural interdependence on both sides of the border. The photographers’ perspectives reach beyond stereotypes and unite in a powerful invitation to dialogue and efforts toward mutual understanding. The copper photogravures in this project were made and printed at Ediciones Izote: Taller de Gráfica de Heliograbado, A.C., in Xalapa, Veracruz. In 2007 the project received financial support from Mexico’s National Fund for Culture and the Arts through its Programa de Fomento a Proyectos y Coinversiones Culturales. The exhibition, which runs from September 28 to November 27, 2009, is free and open to the public. |
