The exhibition will be on view from June 20 through September 8, 2012. The Garden of Opportunities is part of a series of work by collaborative artists Nancy Saleme and Patricia Cazorla which wants to bring awareness to the issue of child labor among Hispanic farm workers. The artists have been working together since 2010 on migration related issues in the US. Their unique vision aims to capture the essence of human nature and express the struggle of society to improve living conditions.
