A World on The Move: Navigating Borders Amidst Conflict and War by Ada Trillo
Through the lens of a dedicated photojournalist, Ada Trillo, this collection of images chronicles the harrowing journeys of those who chose to remain amidst the chaos as well as those who embarked on the treacherous journey to escape. A powerful and intimate exploration of the experiences faced by individuals caught in the tumultuous upheaval of oppressive boarder conflicts within their homelands.
Step into the world of “On the Run from the Northern Triangle to America” and “The Ones Who Stay in the Heartland of Ukraine,” two extraordinary photographic series of the photographer’s tireless travels alongside refugees and migrants from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border. Having dedicated seven years to documenting the plight of Central American refugees, the artist was compelled to extend their lens to the conflict unfolding as the Russian crisis engulfed Kyiv and beyond.
Join us on Friday, September 22 for the opening of this thought-provoking exhibition, sponsored by ASMP Chicago Midwest and CC4PJ, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
