Perspectives at Pequot: U.S. Immigration Today |

Migration Now, the newest art installation at Pequot Library, is a portfolio of 37 silkscreen and letterpress prints illustrating the power art has to engage people in informed conversation about immigration, and the broader global theme of human migration. The collection highlights a variety of reasons why people migrate, from helping family, to escaping persecution, to alleviating financial burdens, or to finding personal fulfillment. Co-organizers Favianna Rodriguez and Roger Peet explain that “When it comes to migration, the discourse rarely focuses on the stories of real people trying to succeed; instead, the frame is dominated by criminality and punishment. We believe that when we share our images and tell our stories, we illustrate the human struggle and win over broad audiences.” |
