Dr. Angie Bonilla will examine how humanitarian and artistic media transform migrant life into spectacles of empathy and control. Through films, photographs, and installations, she traces how Latinx visual practices expose the racial politics of visibility and imagine endurance and solidarity beyond cages, beyond crisis. Her talk reimagines how migration is seen, felt, and governed across the Americas.
