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. 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 at Loyola University Chicago
