Caras Vemos, Corazones No Sabemos: The Human Landscape of Mexican Migration April 24 – July 13, 2008

Caras Vemos, Corazones No Sabemos, Faces Seen, Hearts Unknown: The Human Landscape of Mexican Migration aims to help people better understand Mexican migration from the perspective of the migrant. Five themes are presented in the exhibition—the journey, encountering barriers, human geographies, negotiating identities and constructing the imaginary.

The exhibition consists of approximately 100 pieces by contemporary Mexican and Chicano artists working in a variety of mediums including; video and sound installation, printmaking, photography, painting and sculpture. Caras Vemos, Corazones No Sabemos will be jointly presented at the Haggerty Museum of Art and Latino Arts.

This exhibition was organized by the Snite Museum of Art and the Institute for Latino Studies, University of Notre Dame. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Humana Foundation Endowment for American Art provided essential funding for the exhibition and catalog. At the Haggerty the exhibition has been sponsored by the Marquette University Women's Council Endowment Fund and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin.
