Join us tomorrow – February 23rd at 6 pm – at the Sheen Center, 18 Bleecker St., NY, NY for the opening of the exhibit entitled “Migrations.” The exhibit runs through April 9th.
In “Migrations,” world maps are devoid of borders. Instead, they are imbued with what DOEprojekts calls “Coreforms,” which are shapes that indicate continuous movement and migrations.
PAX Rwanda has partnered with DOEprojekts to create these stunning embroidered maps of the continents.
