At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the HT94 exhibit and related programming are designed to serve as a bridge between the dialogues on migration occurring along the U.S.-Mexico border and those taking place right here in Nebraska. The mobile, itinerant quilt will be exhibited in several campus locations and throughout Lincoln and Omaha.
The HT94 exhibit is participatory in nature. The exhibition is composed of 3,200 toe-tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona between the mid-1990s and 2019. Volunteers may attend workshops in which they fill in the tags with public information compiled by the coroner’s office in Tucson, Arizona. By filling in the names of those who have died in the Arizona desert, participants in the Witnessing & Remembrance Participatory Workshops will encounter these migrants in a personal, human way, rather than as data points in a spreadsheet or dots on a map.
