SUMMARY:Arizona Storytellers: Identity & Immigration
DESCRIPTION:Join azcentral.com, The Arizona Republic and Alliance Bank of Arizona as we celebrate the new art installation at the Desert Botanical Garden by Mexican artist Margarita Cabrera. 
\nSpace in Between-Arizona centers on the creation of artworks and promotion of cultural dialogues revolving around themes related to community, craft, immigration, cultural identity, labor practices, and sustainability. Cabrera will lead workshops with communities from the Arizona region to create soft sculptures of desert plants made from recycled Border Patrol uniforms and embroidered with personal stories of immigration. 
\nThe artwork will be displayed at the Desert Botanical Garden from October 7 – February 12, 2017 and will be the launch for a national traveling exhibition the following year.
