A conversation with Nayda Collazo-Llorens
“Hostile Terrain 94 is a participatory art project that was originally organized and sponsored by the Undocumented Migration Project,” Collazo-Llorens says. “They are a nonprofit, inter-disciplinary, research-art-education-media collective. They’ve been doing research for many years. It’s a really involved and impressive project that includes ethnography, archeology, anthropology, and forensic anthropology. It’s a great project.”

To date, Collazo-Llorens says 3,200 toe tags have been created with information about those who have died trying to cross the border. They include short stories about them and their lives. Her hope is to collect more stories from migrants and family members in the greater Kalamazoo area to add to a companion installation at the Arcus Center.

On Feb. 24, the Chicago City Council passed a resolution calling on the federal government to end the blockade on Cuba. All 50 aldermen voted to oppose the blockade, adding that normalizing relations can benefit the economic conditions of both Cubans and Chicagoans.
The blockade, which has lasted 60 years, prevents Cuba from trading freely and has taken a toll on the Cuban economy to the tune of billions of dollars lost every year for decades. The U.S. government-created blockade prevents countries, corporations and private individuals from doing business in Cuba.
Resolution R2020-612 is the result of a two-year campaign led by more than 200 Chicagoans from different neighborhoods. The resolution ultimately became sponsored by seven aldermen. Many community activists, academics and people with familial or social ties to Cuba united to popularize and pass the resolution.

A speaker event with Dr. Gabby Yearwood, director of Undergraduate Studies for the University of Pittsburgh Department of Anthropology and Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program will take place on Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. Those interested can register to attend and participate at the TAMIU website. Additionally, a movie screening is slated for Friday.
According to Yearwood, during his lecture, the questions “What are the ways in which liberation has been theorized, dreamt and longed for in Black social and intellectual life?” and “What can the actions of Black people inform us about how to think critically about liberation?” will be discussed.
