Community Participation in the Hostile Terrain 94 Art Installation: Tag Filling
BU community members can now participate in the ongoing construction of the Hostile Terrain 94 art installation, which is located on the 2nd floor landing of the George Sherman Union (GSU), 775 Commonwealth Ave., until May 21. Through the installation, the human toll of the U.S. “Prevention Through Deterrence” policy is memorialized with the inclusion of over 3,200 toe-tags listing the names and other identifying information of the corpses of migrants found in the Sonoran Desert at the Arizona/Mexico border.

Speaking from his parents’ house in Toronto (“Notice the illustrations of fruit in the background?” quipped Levy, who was sporting his signature thick-rimmed glasses and scruff), he was interviewed by Ryan de Kock (CAS’22), BU’s Queer Activist Collective’s outreach coordinator. The event was hosted by the Student Activities Office and co-planned by the BU Arts Initiative and the Queer Activist Collective. About 800 students registered, organizers say.
