ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Border Cantos, a unique collaboration between American photographer Richard Misrach and Mexican American sculptor/composer Guillermo Galindo, uses the power of art to explore and humanize the complex issues surrounding the United States-Mexico border. Misrach, who has photographed the border since 2004, documents landscapes and objects, including things left behind by migrants. Responding to these photographs, Galindo fashioned sound-generating sculptures from items Misrach collected along the border; the sounds they produce give voices to people through the personal belongings they have left behind.
