    Celebrate this transnational initiative, created and directed by local artist Michelle Angela Ortiz. The project explores the impact of immigration on the lives of Mexican immigrant youth in South Philadelphia in connection with youth in Chihuahua, Mexico. Aqui y Alla, which translates to "here and there," refers to the youth in both Philadelphia and Mexico whose lives are impacted by immigration through their family dynamic, sense of identity, socio-economic status, and violence against their communities. This project works simultaneously on both sides of the border to join the two cultural worlds through the vision of young people.
