title Multiple Views of Jacal Home and Small Home Made of Branchesdescription Photographs of a jacal home, a close-up view of a wall of the jacal home, and a small home made of branches and twigs. In the picture of the jacal home, rotary tiller is visible in front of the house. The close-up view of the jacal home's wall shows that most of the boards are stacked parallel to the ground, with vertical beams added for support. The small home made of branches and twigs also has some corrugated tin siding, and a prickly pear plant is visible on the right side of the picture, along with a pile of branches, presumably to be used for firewood.artist/creator Graham, Joe Stanley, 1940-1999subject Wooden Structures Wooden Buildings Social Life And Customs - Homes Social Life And Customs King Kutter Rotary Tillers Walls Dwellings Architecture - Buildings Rotary Cutters Jacal Homescontributor Portal to Texas History (TPTH) -

Located prominently on the plaza of the Centro Cultural Tijuana, Ramirez replicated a common Tijuana shanty house and thereby placed the issue of socio-economic disparity where it would be difficult to avoid. The artist drew a sharp contrast to that of the modern façade of the CECUT and this apparent tension was further underscored when one ventured inside the building to find the trappings of common Mexican life. The installation included documentary photographs of five similar shanty homes. The artist stated that with this work he wanted to point to one of the sore spots of Mexican society and also posit that while some people may live in poverty they live equally with dignity and pride as members of the same society. --inSITE94 [Title, Date].

Project At Maclovio Rojas: Video Documentary
title Project At Maclovio Rojas: Video Documentarydescription Brazilian artist Monica Nador began her project for inSITE2000 with a two-month residency in the community of Maclovio Rojas in Tijuana. Challenging traditional notions of the role of the artist and audience, Nador worked with ten families in the community to implement a collaborative form of decoration for the exterior of their homes. Encouraging each family to identify ancestral signs, symbols, and other imagery associated with their regional and cultural heritage, Nador and a small team of assistant artists began a process of creating stencils to be used in decorating their houses. Working in the community for approximately six months, the artist's motivation that "beauty is good for mental and spiritual health" resulted in brightly painted and decorated houses that residents in the entire community saw as unifying and adding visual wealth that could be shared by all. A video documenting Accion en Maclovio Rojas/Project at Maclovio Rojas was produced as part of the project. --inSITE2000 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Maclovio Rojas, Tijuana, Baja California Sur, Mexico Paintings Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 00-30) [Title, Date].
