The mixed-media doors are collages and paintings of certain issues relating to immigration; A.I. and immigration, Covid-19 and essential workers, family separation, superheroes and immigration. Claudio Pérez, a Spanish teacher at Sandia Prep, has been taking students from his advanced Spanish-language students to El Paso since 2014. The students interact first-hand with immigrants and advocates at the Cristo Rey Border Immersion Program. The students then illustrate a series of doors to tell the stories of the people they met.

The exhibition is open through May 4, 2025. For more information on the Albuquerque Museum, click here.
