Description: This project chronicled the migration stories of migrants in the Orange County area. While primarily focusing on Latino history, the project collected hundreds of migration stories from individuals from all walks of life to demonstrate that migration is a universal part of the human condition. The exhibit was a collection of various media from artists throughout the country exploring the theme of migration through their own medium interpretation.
