The Latino Arts Project's exhibition focuses on immigration and opens at the Irving Archives and Museum on March 22.
A 27-year-old Irving resident, Carlos Padilla was deported from the United States in early 2021. On his way back after crossing the border, his family lost contact with him in March 2021. About a month later, his remains were found in Brooks County in South Texas.
“You see these numbers, you see a statistic, but you don’t see the human element of it,” the SMU alumnus says. “We had a lot of photographs of Carlos, and he would share things about his family events and trips that he had gone,” Baldor says. “And so we put together a collage of him over the years and really use this as a way to humanize the story about lives lost.”Edith O’Donnell, Arts and Technology Building
