El Sueno Americano/The American Dream

For any who may be interested (and are in the area) this photo exhibit runs from February 4 - May 23 at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC):


El Sueño Americano/The American Dream features 59 photographs by Arizona-based artist Tom Kiefer depicting everyday objects carried by migrants detained after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Considered non-essential by U.S. Customs and Border Control and thus discarded, these personal belongings–from gloves to rosaries and wallets to water bottles–were valued by their owners for their utilitarian, spiritual, or sentimental value. In Kiefer's graphically striking photographs, these items serve as traces of individual stories that humanize the current migrant crisis.
