Hostile Terrain 94
Hostile Terrain 94 is a participatory art project sponsored and organized by the Undocumented Migration Project. The installation is composed of more than 3,200 hand-written toe tags filled out by the community, each representing a migrant who has died trying to cross the US-Mexico border at the Sonoran Desert of Arizona between the mid-1990s and 2019. The exhibition is installed on the first floor and the accompanying publication was written by both graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University.
