About the exhibition

Living With Injury is an exhibition centering the environmental justice movement led by Mexican American community members in their fight against defense industry pollution that caused widespread illness in the southside of Tucson in the 1980s. Featuring archival materials, and the work of local artists, journalists, researchers, and community members, the project reflects on the power of community organizing, disability justice, and collective healing in the face of environmental racism.
