1992: Performance Still
title 1992: Performance Stilldescription A performance trilogy deconstructing the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus 500 years previous. Digital Library Development Program, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/digital-library) Most of Gómez-Peña’s characters are hybrids, half traditional and half contemporary, half Mexican and half Chicano. During the performance the characters undergo constant transformations seen through overlapping props, costumes and makeup. Each character articulates within himself a series of cultural contradictions which are at the core of the US-Latino experience.

El Niño: Proposal Drawing
title El Niño: Proposal Drawingdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana For inSITE97 Einar and Jamex de la Torre constructed "El Niño," a monumental pyramid based on pre-Hispanic design and iconography. The vinyl and glass structure was installed in the lobby of the CECUT in Tijuana, juxtaposing the contemporary architecture of the space with the ancient motifs on the pyramid. El Nino incorporated symbolism of the demigod that is part holy child, part weather demon, with the El Sexenio, the six year presidential term that prompts cycles of havoc/progress in the Mexican economy. The interior of the pyramid was visible through glass staircases on the sides of the pyramid, revealing plaster statues of Jesus in a womblike cavern. "El Niño" captured the intersection of different traditions and lifestyles within the Mexican region that create a hybridization of culture. --inSITE97 Sculpture and Installations 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 309, Folder 03, Item 082) [Title, Date].

Piñatas Encantadas
title Piñatas Encantadasdescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) For his inSITE97 Community Engagement project, San Diego artist Roberto Salas collaborated with artists in Tijuana and San Diego as well as San Diego students to create a piñata installation at the Centro Cultural de la Raza. Salas designed the piñatas in reference to his perceptions of traditional, popular, and personal iconography and allowed the artists to incorporate their own perspectives as the piñatas were fabricated. With bold colors and unusual imagery, "Piñatas encantadas" visually reinterpreted the traditional Mexican piñata while celebrating its history and mythology. As part of the installation, the piñata blueprints were displayed and students painted a mural that echoed themes from the piñatas. --inSITE97 Sculpture and Installations 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 05, Item 330) [Title, Date].
