Off the Press: A Community Reading on (In)visibility

“Nada somos sí solos caminamos, todo seremos si nuestros pasos caminan junto a otros pasos dignos.”“We are nothing walking alone; we become everything walking alongside dignified steps.” - El Comité Clandestino (1994)Join the Fowler Museum and UCLA students for a community reading of the new publication (In)visibility. This powerful book features critical essays and artworks by undoc+ artists, individuals exploring the complex realities of undocumentedness, immigration journeys, and hyperdocumentation. 

Together, participants will read aloud selected excerpts from (In)visibility, engaging in a shared reflection on themes of identity, migration, healing, and solidarity. The reading offers a collective space to listen, witness, and honor the voices of the undoc+ community. 

The curator of the upcoming exhibition and editor of this volume is a formerly undocumented, first-generation, transnational, Japanese-Mexican immigrant and UCLA doctoral candidate. (In)visibility foregrounds the aesthetic achievements of undoc+ authors and scholars while centering care and protection for participants. This reading is part of a broader commitment to foster community connection through art and storytelling.
