Arag\u00f3n<\/strong>, the exhibition brings together thirteen artists whose works on paper address borders, migration, and dual identity through print media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every day, hundreds of thousands of people cross borders. At these crossings, governments require documents to verify migration status and determine who may enter. For migrants without papers, a seemingly routine request for identification becomes an impossible interrogation\u2014one that can force individuals to risk their lives to avoid verification. Having papers becomes a matter of life or death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through their work, the exhibiting artists consider the personal and political consequences of these systems, bringing individual experiences into conversations about movement, identity, and belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhibiting artists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golnar Adili, Miguel A.
