“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 identity, migration, healing, and solidarity. The reading will offer a collective space to listen, witness, and honor the voices of the undoc+ community. The 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. This program is in partnership with Undoc+ Collective
