Presented in conjunction
with the Mexican Center of the Institute
of Latin American Art and the
Harrington Fellows Program at the University
of Texas – Austin, the exhibition will open on
Wednesday, April 9, 2008, and run through May 15. Many of the retablos featured
in the exhibition are in the book Miracles
on the Border by Jorge Durand, one of the foremost specialists on
migration. Retablos are small paintings on metal or wood that venerate God and
the Saints – the exhibition features contemporary “miracles” about the
migration experience across the U.S.-Mexico border.
