Description
Border Doors /Puertas fronterizas explores contemporary immigration issues through student art. Over the past fourteen years, advanced Spanish-language students at Sandia Prep have visited the US-Mexico border, met with migrants, and have reflected on those experiences by making collages on repurposed doors. This one-hour tour will cover immigration topics such as COVID-19 and essential workers, family separation, kids in cages, and racial profiling. Class fee includes museum admission. Limited enrollment.
