What Remains
What Remains provides windows, peering into and out from an on-going global humanitarian crisis, assembled into a multimedia (photography, illustration, music, video, installation) multidisciplinary (artistic, academic, activist) exhibit that reframes the migrant journey as a global and timeless human experience, one that occurs before, during and after the passage itself. It is a tribute to those that have taken this journey but have been silenced, or whose voices were never heard. What Remains is a labor of love, an invitation and a provocation, for us to collectively reassess our response and acknowledgement of the migratory history of human beings, and reaffirm basic values and rights of human existence.

Thanks to your support our art project was impulsed to the next level! We are grateful and determined to reach more goals this year!

In our website www.whatremains.art you can see all the community engagement workshops we developed along with the new exhibitions that happened this year in Northern Ireland, Monterrey Mexico, Toronto Canada and Denver Colorado. Our first edition catalog was published in Canada and we began funding the Higher Education of an outstanding immigrant girl and student that participated in the education and research aspect of What Remains.

As the project evolves, so do the stories, and we feel that the new branches we’re growing are essential for further strengthening our mission.

This year, we are focusing on three key initiatives:

Traveling Exhibition: Our exhibition shares the stories of migration through photography, illustration, art installations, video, and audio. Central to this is “La Trenza,” an evolving installation that weaves together the belongings and stories of individuals in transit, representing their unique experiences through the objects they carry.

Art Book: We are creating and printing a book that compiles years of photographic documentation of border stories, preserving the resilience and experiences of those on migration paths.

Project “Las Tías”: We are committed to supporting the higher education of two Latina girls who have been part of What Remains since the beginning.
