This motivational tapestry represents the root causes of migration from 1,624 Central American migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, taken from a United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) survey in 2021. With the help of Casa Tochan, thirteen Latin American migrants crafted this physical data visualization of “migrant money,” illustrating their hopes, dreams, and risks along the way. The weaving pattern is inspired by techniques used by Venezuelans to transform inflated Venezuelan Bolivar banknotes into handbags or wallets.
