Hostile Terrain 94 is an art installation hosted at Galeria Mitotera for the month of November honoring and remembering the more than 4,000 migrants who have died while crossing the Arizona-Sonora border.

Community members in Tucson were invited to contribute to the wall map featuring geolocated toe-tags placed at the location where every migrant died attempting to cross the Arizona-Sonora desert from the mid 1990's to 2019.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
