On Friday, February 12, the Hudson River Museum will open a new exhibition: Border Cantos | Sonic Border: Richard Misrach | Guillermo Galindo.
This exhibition is a collaboration between photographer Richard Misrach and sculptor/composer Guillermo Galindo addressing humanitarian issues at the U.S.-Mexico border.
