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.)

Apacheta
title Apachetadescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego-based Argentinian artist Graciela Ovejero created an installation for inSITE94 at the Centro Cultural de la Raza entitled "Apacheta." Drawing on Ovejero's personal heritage, the installation focused on the myth of Pachamama, or Mother Earth as it still exists in the belief of natives from the northern part of Argentina. One way that Pachamama is honored is by the construction of stone mounds called apachetas. For her installation the artist built a technological apacheta out of TV monitors, situated on a floor of soil and showing a video diptych, each video respectively titled "The Journey" and "Aspects and Manifestations." The videos were in response to the artist's relationship to the earth and how her cultural background has informed that relationship. --inSITE94 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 03, Item 263) [Title, Date].
