UA Toe Tag Workshop (Hostile Terrain 94)

August 26, 2021 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

To prepare for the installation of Hostile Terrain 94, the UA community will be coming together to participate in a series of workshops of reflection to recognize those who have lost their lives while crossing the U.S./Mexico border.

HT94 is made up of handwritten toe tags that represent each person who has died in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. These tags include names (when known), age, sex, cause of death, condition of body, and location for every person whose body has been recovered.

The tags are then placed on a wall map in the exact location where those remains were found. This workshop will ask volunteers to fill out the toe tags and bear witness to the humanitarian crisis that is happening at the border. We hope for individuals to connect with the information being conveyed on the tags, to stand in solidarity with these lost lives, and to take part in the greater migration conversation.
