Installation view of Sanctuary City Project at Blue Star Contemporary

Sanctuary City Project is a project of artists Sergio De La Torre and Chris Treggiari that engages communities to generate conversations around the history and policies of immigration in the USA. The exhibition opened in the Fall 2020 when immigration issues were topics of serious discussion in politics. San Antonio's close proximity to the U.S. - Mexico border means that immigration and migrant rights are frequently in the news. BSC exhibitions often serve to provide perspective on current events.
