Interactive Exhibit Elements for Don Coen: The Migrant Series

These are photographs of two interactive education sections created for an exhibit of large-scale air brush portraits of migrant laborers.  The El Paso Museum of Art exhibited the portraits from February through mid-June of 2015.  We collected the notes to the migrants left on the pin board and sent them to the artist, who forwarded them on to the migrant workers.

The flip book shown in the section “Explore the World of the Migrant Laborer” contained laminated copies of articles dealing with various aspects of migrant labor.  The statistics listed on the panel came from a 2007 national survey of migrants.
