Northern Triangle
In 2014, more than 68,000 unaccompanied children from Central America were apprehended on the U.S./Mexico border, double the number from the previous year. Originally commissioned by Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum, Northern Triangle is an exhibition created by Borderland Collective that opens a space for constructive dialogue and exchange around the current Central American refugee crisis along the U.S./Mexico border and the long and complicated history of U.S. intervention in which it is irrevocably entangled. From 2014-2018, Northern Triangle traveled to Threewalls in Chicago, Illinois, the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson, the Staniar Gallery at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, and the Mayborn Museum at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
