Kenyan Institute of Ethics: Duke Engage

Ed and I had the pleasure of hosting students from Duke University, Friday morning. Ed shared his wisdom about mapping the migrant trails. The students had gone on a Samaritan hike earlier that week and we somewhat familiar with the maps and the GPS system. Having walked a trail and been to Mexico during their visit, seeing the maps and the systematic approach Ed used to create them, helped clarify the process.

After Ed finished, the students walked through the house and looked at the art and artifacts collected from the trails. Then we settled in and looked at a slide show about art created from artifacts. Such visits mean a great deal to me. I am encouraged by the hope, curiosity and determination of students who come from across the country to learn about what happens on the Arizona border. 

Below are images of Memorials from Calendars of Death, water jugs found along the trails and shoes found on the trails that had broken apart and were, unsuccessfully, repaired. These hang in our living room and remain a reminder that people walk through the desert south of Tucson everyday.

    I'm a mixed media artist who uses objects found in the desert to educate people about the suffering taking place on the Arizona-Mexico border.
