“A migrant is perpetually unfinished. Instead of a living embodiment of one’s place of origin, a person is a work of art constantly in revision,” says David Cuatlacuatl, one of the artists participating in Aesthetics of Undocumentedness. The two-day symposium and exhibition highlights the kaleidoscope of ways individuals experience and are affected by undocumentedness. Day one begins with a community limpia, a type of spiritual cleansing, followed by a zine-making workshop and reception. Saturday includes a keynote from Erika Hirugami, a Q&A, and a screening of the movie COVER/AGE.
