Hostile Terrain 94

Presented in partnership with Empowerment League (EL), one of many programs run through Boston University’s Community Service Center, this panel will consist of local youth who actively work and organize around immigration justice in the Greater Boston Area. The discussion will consist of their reflections on the themes of Hostile Terrain 94: an art exhibit on the violence of border enforcement at the US-Mexico border, as well as information about the work they do and how BU students should get involved.

Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94) is a participatory art exhibition organized by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), and brought to Boston University by the College of Arts & Sciences and the BU Arts Initiative, with support from Latin American Studies, the College of General Studies, BU History Department, BU Archaeology Department, and the BU Hub. The exhibition illuminates the humanitarian crisis occurring at the United States’ border, a crisis that has claimed over 3,200 lives since the 1990s and continues to do so each and every day.
