HT94 is a multi-media exhibition that records the journeys and testimonies of undocumented migrants and their families who attempt to cross the U.S.–Mexico border. The exhibition includes an array of multi-sensorial components that speak directly to the migrant experience, such as photographic narratives of border crossers, found objects left behind by migrants in the desert, videos, an interactive story-recording studio where the public may share their personal immigration stories, and a 16-foot long participatory wall map of the Arizona/Mexico border containing hand-written toe tags with QR codes that connect to online content regarding migrant issues along America’s southern border representing people who have died while crossing the border between the mid-1990s and 2022.
