Miracles On the Border: Folk Paintings of Mexican Migrants to the U.S

This powerful exhibition features Mexican retablos that are both fascinating artworks and compelling sociological documents, dating back to as early as 1912.

The exhibition is on display from February 1 - March 31, 2011 at the Library Art Gallery. 

Collected by Drs. Jorge Durand, University of Guadalajara, and Douglas Massey, Princeton University, as part of an ongoing study of Mexico-U.S. migration, the retablos displayed in this exhibit express the most prominent concerns of the immigrants who dedicated them, giving us direct Mexican perspectives on migrations.

This exhibit was made possible through a generous grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts, as well as contributions by various Sonoma State University programs.
