Event Description
Since January 2015 an estimated 34,000 children from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. “Unspoken Words/Steps on Sand” shows the exodus of these undocumented, unaccompanied minors from Central America through collaborative, community-based murals painted by youth affected by the violence along the border.
