4th of July
"A Declaration of Immigration" at the National Museum of Mexican Art
Opening on the 4th of July, 2008 (10 am to 5 pm) in Chicago, the show runs through September 7, 2008.
A Declaration of Immigration is an exhibition that depicts many of the experiences and viewpoints within U.S. immigrant communities. The works of over 70 artists will help visitors increase their understanding of this complex issue by providing immigrant perspectives that are seldom included in the national debate. Victor's "Labor Tea" installation will be on display.
