Those policies have been replaced today with expansive and unchecked power\, allowing ICE agents to deport migrants and separate families\, leaving children traumatized and emotionally adrift when family members are detained or deported. \nThese paintings take us into their world. The young artists who created the exhibit answered one question with their brush strokes: What do you think about the border? ¿Qué opinas de la frontera? The images reveal a longing for home\, the experience of journeying\, feelings of hopefulness\, and\, finally\, the disillusionment of border realities. Seven years after these images were painted\, the relevance and timeliness remain profoundly impactful. \nThis exhibit is a collaborative effort initiated by Skidmore College Teaching Professor Diana Barnes\, PhD. It was organized in Juárez by Lucca de Alba\, a dedicated advocate for migrants in her city and a well-known children’s author. NGO volunteers from Seguimos Adelante\, and El Paso muralist Cimi Alvarado\, along with a team of volunteers\, accompanied the children in August 2019. \nVisit and Contact: For group or class visits\, please email the Refuge Gallery Lead Curator\, Vincent Stracuadanio\, at vstracquadan@fordham.edu. For individual tours\, the gallery is open Monday through Friday\, 9 to 4 p.m. Ring the bell for the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs. \nLocation: Canisius Hall at FCRH (2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, NY\, 10458) URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/exhibit-painting-the-border-a-childs-voice/ LOCATION:Canisius Hall\, 2546 Belmont Ave \, Bronx \, NY\, 10458\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts at Fordham ORGANIZER;CN="Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs":MAILTO:iiha@fordham.edu GEO:40.8586414;-73.8827079 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Canisius Hall 2546 Belmont Ave Bronx NY 10458 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2546 Belmont Ave:geo:-73.8827079,40.8586414 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251016T171500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251016T181500 DTSTAMP:20260604T012815 CREATED:20250918T201713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250919T135811Z UID:10013745-1760634900-1760638500@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Yoga at the IIHA DESCRIPTION:Yoga at the IIHA is an all-levels yoga class designed to teach students\, staff\, and faculty about stretching and relaxation poses and how to use these skills on and off the mat.
