Enjoy a panel discussion and reflections on the Puertas fronterizas / Border Doors project! The conversation will feature Claudio Pérez, teacher from Sandia Preparatory School, Dr. Jesus Pérez, professor at Cascadia College, and Rose Mary Sánchez-Guzmán, pastor from Cristo Rey Centro Lutherano, will discuss the evolution of the Puertas fronterizas / Border Doors project. Since 2014, this initiative has fostered a deeper understanding of immigration by connecting students with educators and immigrants on the U.S./Mexico border. The mixed-media doors, created by Pérez’s students upon their return to Albuquerque, are interpretative collages and paintings of issues relating to immigration and artificial intelligence among others. Panelists will explore the exhibition’s role in shaping broader conversations about the border and the human face of immigration.
The exhibition will be on view at the museum through May 4th, 2025.
