Hostile Terrain 94- In-Person Exhibit Open Now

Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory art project raising awareness of this humanitarian crisis. HT94 was developed by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), a non-profit research-art-education-media collective directed by UCLA anthropologist Jason De León (https://www.undocumentedmigrationproject.org/hostileterrain94). The exhibit is being mounted simultaneously at over 150 national and global institutions.
Thanks to funding provided by the Material and Visual Worlds TAE Binghamton University is hosting HT94! The exhibit is now open in the Grand Corridor of the Fine Arts building and will run from Octobover 1 through October 17.
Ht94 is an interactive exhibit invites volunteers to write the names of deceased migrants, along with their age, sex, cause of death, condition of their body, and location of their recovery, on color-coded toe tags. Yellow tags represent people whose remains have been identified, while orange tags symbolize nearly 1000 unidentified individuals. These tags are then geolocated and pinned to a wall map of the desert showing the exact locations where remains were found. We invite you to visit the Grand Corridor and view the completed map holding up the 3200 colored tags which graphically illustrate the severity of the humanitarian crisis.
