The talk will be followed by a dramatic reading of the powerful play Winter_Invierno, by internationally renowned Mexican playwright Hugo Salcedo. This artistic presentation vividly portrays the very real crisis happening along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The dramatic reading is directed by Laura Shink, assistant professor, Suffolk University Theatre Department.
