The project Memorias del silencio is the outcome of a collaboration between BorderSenses and El Paso Community College’s Community Education Program.

The objective of the project is to develop new academic opportunities for farm workers and to create venues that bring awareness to their condition as migrants in the United States.

Through the GED courses that the CEP offers to farm workers and their families, we have offered creative writing workshops in various communities in the El Paso, Texas area.  The pieces that have emerged from these workshops have been published in the book series Memorias del Silencio: Footprints of the Borderland.

BorderSenses is a nonprofit literary arts organization based in El Paso, Texas. Its mission is to provide a voice to all visual artists and writers of this region and to promote cross-border exchange in the arts.

El Paso Community College’s Community Education Program is a program that provides free educational and support services, including ESL, literacy, GED, health literacy, and community literacy instruction to economically and academically disadvantaged residents of El Paso County.
