Join the Center for the Human Rights of Children and Loyola's Anthropology Department for a discussion with Lauren Heidbrink, creator of Migration and Belonging: Narratives from a Highland Town creator. This exhibit traces the pervasive and enduring impacts of migration and deportation on a highland community of Guatemala.
Known as the breadbasket of Central America, Almolonga enjoys a thriving agricultural economy and strong community leadership; yet poverty remains significant, social inequality pronounced, alcoholism pervasive, and livable wages scarce. Migration and Belonging is a visual exhibit featuring photography, digital stories, poems, and reflections from an interdisciplinary research team. The collection offers a rich, multifaceted account of a community impacted by colonialism, state violence, and the profound impacts, both historic and contemporary, of migration across intimate, community, and transnational levels.
*The exhibit will run from February 19 through March 1, 2018 in the Information Commons (1st Floor) at Loyola University Chicago *
