Sails Project
title Sails Projectdescription After a visit to California, Cuban artist Jose Bedia proposed to address the subject of cultural mythology and modes of transportation in his installation "Sails Project/Proyecto de velas para navegar." Covering the entrance façade of the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego with large yellow sails displaying silhouettes of mythological figures, Bedia's piece explored issues of Colonization and the subjugation and preservation of culture. Incorporating the names of Native American tribes and John Henry, it touched on California's past and in turn brought about a consideration of the confluence of cultures between Mexico and the US. - inSITE94 Architecture and City Planning Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)

Belmore wanted the photographs of indigenous women waiting at the border fence in Tijuana to reflect the mood of the dilapidated Casino Theatre itself, waiting to be reclaimed and refurbished by the city.
