 students from Sacred Heart Preparatory documented community events, rallies

 the Bay Area including San Francisco, Fair Oaks and San Rafael.  The

 first-hand accounts of the challenges in living on either side of the 
 border.  The exhibition opens with a reception on Saturday, September 1st

 with the opening of the exhibition, Rupa & the April Fishes will perform on 
 Saturday, September 1 at 8:00pm in the theater.  Rupa and the April Fishes 
 make music without borders, blending sounds from Europe, Latin America, 
 India and the US. On tour in March, the band met up with Lars and his 
 photography students at the Casa del Migrante in Tijuana, Mexico where they 
 also had the opportunity to meet with migrants and visit the border walls 
 constructed by the United States.  Rupa will share some of the stories and 
 songs written as a result of this journey, the initial works from a new 
 series of music she is currently composing that examines real and imagined 
 borders and boundaries.  Some of the images from the exhibition will also 
 be discussed with insight from the photographers and an opportunity for 
 audience comments and participation.   This concert is a send off to Rupa 
 and the April FIshes who will be heading out on their second tour south, 
 culminating in another visit to the Casa del Migrantes.  \n
