Program Room A

Tucson, AZ resident Mary Vaneecke presents the story of the Migrant Quilt Project, a grassroots, collaborative effort of artists, quiltmakers, and activists to express compassion for migrants from Mexico and Central America who died in the Southern Arizona deserts on their way to create better lives for themselves and their families. Materials used in the quilts were collected at migrant layup sites used for rest and shelter on established trails in the Sonoran Desert. A collection of quilts are on display in the library’s upper lobby. This presentation will include a guided tour of the quilts with Ms. Vaneecke.
