A Votar
title A Votardescription Intaglio on paper, 18 in. x 24 in. The New Immigration: Ten Etchings Portfolio by Self Help Graphics, Los Angeles, CA and Galería Sin Fronteras, Austin, TX. Crowds of people are on either side of a barbed wire with bound hands. The people are small and look up to massive voting boxes for the USA and Mexico, with large hands contributing their votes. In 1988, Sister Karen Boccalero, founder of Self Help Graphics 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 Limón, Leosubject Mexico Immigration Immigrants United States Buildings Voting People Rope Barbed Wire Hands Hand in art Intaglio Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM)
