Live Music & Solidarity along the US-Mexico border

Monday, 27 March, 2017

On Monday, March 27th at 7:00 PM in the Moscovitz Theater, Colombian-American musician and sociologist Natalia Serna (La Muna) will perform songs from her album, Corazón Norte. Natalia moved to the US-Mexico border city of Nogales as a volunteer at the Kino Border Initiative (KBI) Soup Kitchen. Natalia’s record, Corazόn Norte, is made up of songs and interviews that seek to incarnate, through art, the stories of migrants. The record is an effort to gift each traveler a song in honor of their journey. Corazόn Norte hopes to offer the audience a richer understanding of migration by exploring the individual stories that embody its complexity, its horrors, and the depth of its humanity. Its ultimate goal is to light a passion for the dignity of each person regardless of which side of any line he or she stands.

We will also screen “El Deportado,” a film which explores the dehumanizing effects of the immigration process and the response of the KBI to restore dignity and hope. The film follows the journeys of a young man attempting to cross the border to see his infant son and of a young woman living out the dreams of her parents.

This event is co-sponsored by Education for Justice, JUHAN, Political Science, Latin American and Women’s Studies, Cross Cultural Centers, and The Jesuit Center at The University of Scranton. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. Mike Allison, michael.allison@scranton.edu or x4392.
