The exhibit is based on the unique and intriguing event that the photographers attended and photographed this last October in the Arizona border town of Nogales. The Border Convergence was sponsored by numerous regional and national organizations and drew approximately 1200 people from across the United States who gathered in peaceful demonstration of concern for Mexico/ United States border issues.

FeVa Fotos intent of this exhibit is to have captured the beauty, passion and emotion of the gathering and share it with the Silver City community through their photography. Of particular interest was the march to the border wall where music and speeches were being held on both sides of the wall during two days of the three day event.

"Convergence- of Borders and Minds" opens with a reception from 2:00 till 3:30 on Tuesday, January 31, at the MRAC gallery that is located in the Wells Fargo Bank Building . The public is cordially invited to stop in to enjoy some refreshments and conversation while they check out the show!

The exhibit will also be available for viewing from 9 a.m. till 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, during the month of February.
