El Paso, al Reves
title El Paso, al Revesdescription Intaglio on paper, 24 in. x 18 in. The New Immigration: Ten Etchings Portfolio by Self Help Graphics, Los Angeles, CA and Galería Sin Fronteras, Austin, TX. Shirtless man with a crowd of people in front of and behind a fence. Brick wall and city in background with skulls and a flying space craft. In 1988, Sister Karen Boccalero, founder of Self Help Graphics and Art in Los Angeles, and Dr. Gilberto Cárdenas, founder of Galería Sin Fronteras in Austin, co-organized this portfolio of ten etchings by five artists. The prints, sponsored by Self Help Graphics and co-published by Galería Sin Fronteras, were produced at Taller Romero in Mexico City by printer Renato Esquivel Romero. According to Cárdenas, this series pays “homage to the perseverance and dignity of the new Latino immigrants as they struggle with the transition into American society.” He also said that they are a reminder of “the role that immigration plays in enriching the economic vitality of our society and the contributions that the immigrants and their children will have in making American society a better community for tomorrow—a community ‘sin fronteras.’” Each of the five selected artists presented a distinctive perspective on politics, immigration, and the border.artist/creator Aguirre, José Antoniosubject Fences Humans Crowds Immigration Immigrants Intaglio Prints Unidentified Flying Objects UFO Buildings Hands Hand in art Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM)
