Pocho Sonnet: A Monologue at the Edge of Borders

Thursday, Dec 4, 2025

8:00 PM – 9:30 PM

An audition and a Shakespearean sonnet open a series of questions about lives on the edge of the border regime. An intimate portrait of friendship, childhood, and family crossed by deportation and forced return. David Grimaldo, writer, actor, and director, presents a powerful challenge to linear migration narratives in this journey across and in between the US and Mexico. 

Followed by a conversation with Jill Anderson, Justin Gest, Jesús I. Valles.

This event is part of the program New Narratives of Migration: Transformative Pedagogies and Practices for the Classroom and Beyond, organized by Alexandra Délano Alonso and the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility.
