Los Angeles – An unsettling homecoming to an empty village in Mexico has inspired a set of imaginative responses in unexpected places. 2501 Migrants: A Journey is a new documentary about the response of one Oaxacan artist, Alejandro Santiago, to the impact of migration on rural Mexico. The film adds another layer to the creative process of Santiago’s project that aims to repopulate his village with life-size clay sculptures.
