Pasos Ajenos: Social Justice and Inequality in the Borderlands

Pasos Ajenos: Social Justice and Inequality in the Borderlands is coming to the Centennial Museum and Chihuahuan Desert Gardens!   Pasos Ajenos: Social Justice and Inequality in the Borderlands is a traveling exhibition conceived to educate museum visitors about controversial social topics as a healing process toward understanding. This interactive exhibition invites visitors to play, learn, and explore ideas that are often abstract, in a tangible and creative way. By engaging multiple senses, visitors can bring social issues to life and leave with new understandings about history, race, gender, power, labor, segregation, immigration, and environmental justice. Pasos Ajenos is a contemporaneous display that tells the story of disempowered and dispossessed populations along the Borderlands during critical historic times. As a whole narrative, the exhibition aims to transform traditional museum spaces into locations of communal learning toward healing, empowerment, and inspiration.   Please join us for the opening reception to be held at the Centennial Museum on Saturday August 13, 2-4pm.
