Changing the narrative, empowering migrant voices

The University of Arizona Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry and University Libraries Special Collections present a virtual roundtable with artists, human rights advocates, and archivists who are building cultural and political power in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. The roundtable is the first in a series meant to reclaim the border narrative, advance migrant justice, and address gaps in the historical record.

This collaboration is funded by a $1.18 million grant from the Ford Foundation.
