An opening reception with several of the featured artists will take place on Friday from 6-8 p.m.

In the Shadow of the Wall illuminates struggle and spirit on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a press release from Kimball Art Center. The artists in the group exhibition explore a landscape “marked by barriers, honoring the resilience of migrants and the rich mixture of cultures, ideas, and ecosystems that transcend national boundaries.”  

Featured artists in the show include Tanya Aguiñiga, Margarita Cabrera, Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman, Ana Teresa Fernández, Christina Fernandez, Pablo López Luz, Hector Dionicio Mendoza, Elizabeth Pineda, Jami Porter Lara, Rael San Fratello, Jorge Rojas, Stephanie Syjuco, Kelly Tapia-Chuning, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, and the Undocumented Migration Project

The exhibition comprises photography, video and sculpture work that use traditional and untraditional materials. According to the release, the artists’ “earnest and at times playful, works confront stark divisions between people and nations and illuminate both struggle and spirit on the border.”
