“Migrating Lives/Vidas Migratorias features handmade books filled with personal stories of migration, many of them by unaccompanied minors who have arrived in the United States over the past 18 months from Central America.  The books were created by students from Sherwood High School in collaboration with Beatriz del Olmo Fiddleman, the museum’s Community Artist in Residence. Two-thirds or more of the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students at Sherwood are Central American and many have poignant stories about the circumstances that led to their migration, often involving gang extortion, divided or broken families, and violence.”
