Crossroads Gallery @ Downtown South Bend

The Institute for Latino Studies presents:

Migraciones/Migrations
with featured artists
Byron Brauchli, Eniac Martínez, Francisco Mata, and Antonio Turok
Monday, September 28 - Friday, November 27, 2009
Crossroads Gallery, Downtown South Bend
Open Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

The Institute for Latino Studies is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition Migraciones/Migrations on display at the Notre Dame Downtown Crossroads Gallery for the 2009 fall season.

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.
