Before the Migration
title Before the Migrationdescription Woodcut on paper, 30 in. x 22.5 in. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "January 15th, 1944. My grandparents in front of La Catedral, in Mexico City, the four-hundred-year-old church built from the stones of the Aztec’s Templo Mayor. My father, only four years old at the time, and his brother, my namesake, an infant. They moved to Tucson, Arizona from Puebla in a mining truck that my grandfather later delivered to the Pima Copper Mines. With 1500 miles ahead of them, I can only imagine what an arduous task that was. I don’t know for sure because all four of these family members have passed on, but I wonder if they had visited La Catedral to say goodbye and pray for a safe journey. Besides wanting the reminder of where my family came from, I wanted to get to know them through this [print]: I wanted to feel how they felt that day, to feel the sun on their faces, the awe from the sheer grandeur of architecture, and maybe even the warmth of their hearts from the presence of God. Through the carving process, the image also revealed their brewing excitement, and hope for a better future. They had to have known that their diligence would add prosperity to future generations. It makes me grateful for their hard work and perseverance to arrive in America." — Ruben Urrea Morenoartist/creator Urrea Moreno, Rubensubject Borderlands Frontera Immigration Immigrants Families Woodcuts Prints Portraits Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Tamalada
title Tamaladadescription Color lithograph on paper, 25.5” x 32.75” Chicana artist Carmen Lomas Garza was raised in Kingsville, Texas, which is located near the Mexico – United States border and the Gulf of Mexico. She created a series of works that recall her life growing up with her family in the small border town in South Texas. In a tamalada, families gather to make large batches of tamales during the Christmas season. The entire family, adults and children alike, organize an assembly line to produce tamales, which are filled with different carnes (meats) such as pork, beef, or chicken; sometimes beans or even fruit. Note the framed reproduction of the Last Supper on the wall. Garza uses these scenes of family life to educate mainstream America about the Mexican American traditions that are passed on from one generation to the next. This popular lithograph was acquired by the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C.artist/creator Garza, Carmen Lomassubject Families Borderlands Frontera Food Food in art Culture Heritage Tamales Traditions Manners and customs Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Family Trees
title Family Treesdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Drawings and Watercolors Ernest Silva's inSITE97 Community Engagement project, "Family Trees/Arboles de familias," was a collaboration with artist Alberto Caro-Limón that linked the Children's Museum in San Diego to the Centro Cultural in Tijuana. Each site allowed children to write their own family stories and draw family portraits. Both installations were brightly colored and filled with images of houses, trees, birds, and birdhouses to symbolize the exchange of memories and stories from one museum to the other. The space at the Children's Museum was a Rain House that functioned as a studio, reading room, and exhibition space for the children's family projects. At the Centro, the space contained children-sized houses, benches and work spaces, and painted wood-picket fences and trees. The projects created at each installation then traveled to the other to be exhibited to complete the exchange of stories and perspectives. --inSITE97 Paintings Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The New Children's Museum (American museum) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 05, Item 334) [Title, Date].

Project At Maclovio Rojas: Painted And Stenciled Porch With Family
title Project At Maclovio Rojas: Painted And Stenciled Porch With Familydescription 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 Maclovio Rojas, Tijuana, Baja California Sur, Mexico Paintings Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 244) [Title, Date].
