In the fall, UNL will host Hostile Terrain 94 (HT94), which is a participatory art project sponsored and organized by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), a non-profit research-art-education-media collective, directed by anthropologist Jason De León. The exhibition is composed of ~3,200 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona between the mid-1990s and 2019. These tags are geolocated on a wall map of the desert showing the exact locations where remains were found. This installation will be displaced at The Crib in the Nebraska Union from Sept. 20-26, then move to the Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts in early October.

In conjunction with the University’s programming, the College of Law will host a noon hour panel discussion on immigration.
