"In Lives in Transit", Lucas Mertehikian reads the passports of illustrious travelers held in Harvard's archives and of forgotten ones bought on eBay to reconstruct something of their lives. Join "Passport, please" (HISP/CMPL 224) to discuss his work and examine passports from his collection, some reworked by the artist Scherezade García and turned from identification documents into ephemera, and works of art.
