On Thursday, June 28 at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum the “I Define Myself: Undocumented and Unafraid” exhibit opened its doors. The exhibit features 15 portraits of undocumented students and their story. The opening night event featured a performance by the women of Teatro Luna. After their performance, several undocumented students were given the opportunity to share their story. These students highlighted their struggles and their accomplishments through poems, spoken word, and story telling. Jorge Mena, one of the event planners, said “we will continue to speak about how being undocumented makes us feel because we realize that every decision we make is impacted by the fact that we’re undocumented.” The exhibit will be at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum until July 28.
