La U.S.A. and the Three Diablos
title La U.S.A. and the Three Diablosdescription 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. A man's head becomes a part of the land as he smiles and looks at the "three diablos" to the right. He has a cap with stars and a bald eagle on his head. There are people running across the land and people picking vegetables in a field in the foreground. 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 Eagles Immigration Immigrants Demons Demonios Devil Diablo Workers Figurative art Animals in art Vegetables Stars Estrellas Running Intaglio Prints Allegory Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Governor of the Tarahumaras
title Governor of the Tarahumarasdescription Etching on paper, 20 in. x 13 in. Portrait of Governor of the Tarahumaras in foreground, with flat landscape and wooden house in background. Artist Marta Arat (1932-2002) was born in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. She spent most of her adult life along the El Paso-Juárez border, where she studied art at The University of Texas at El Paso. Arat painted her social and spiritual self and created work that experimented with color while mirroring a time and place that reflects the region of the Chihuahuan borderlands. Arat’s work presents images taken from the beauty and diversity of people’s hopes, aspirations and dreams. Marta Arat painted a full spectrum of women, with the belief that women along the US-Mexico border are often overlooked though they are a historic example of life and change. She was a close friend of the El Paso collector Juan Sandoval. Arat was active in the Soñando Juntos organization, an immigrant youth-led organization that empowers borderland immigrant youth through civic engagement. Locally, her first exhibition Life in the Barranca Del Cobre in 1980 was followed by her first group exhibition La Mujer y Su Arte in 1984. Arat’s artwork has been published in magazines, books, and commercially. From Chihuahua, Mexico throughout Texas and to other parts of the region, she has exhibited in museums, galleries and university libraries. Her paintings can be found in many private, corporate, and public museum collections throughout Mexico and the United States.artist/creator Arat, Martasubject Indigenous peoples Indígenas Workers Governors Farmworkers Elders Ancianos Nature in art Leadership Borderlands Frontera Tarahumara Indians Intaglio Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Tijuana Projection
title Tijuana Projectiondescription After a two-year process, Krzysztof Wodiczko's project culminated in two evenings of projections on the 60-foot-diameter façade of the Omnimax Theater at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. Known for his large-scale outdoor projections, with "Tijuana Projection/Proyección en Tijuana" Wodiczko wanted to use progressive technology to give voice and visibility to the women who work in the maquiladora industry in Tijuana. The projections consisted of prerecorded materials interspersed with live feeds from a headset with an integrated camera and microphone designed by the artist and worn by the participating women. This was Wodiczko's first time creating a projection incorporating live segments, adding a certain immediacy and potency to the presentation of these very personal accounts. In preparation for the projection, the artist conducted nearly one year of workshops with eight participating women. His work with these eight women was facilitated through two organizations based in Tijuana, (Factor X and Yeuani), that are dedicated to helping women who face difficulties in the workplace or at home. The pre-recorded and live personal testimonies given by the eight women focused on work-related and sexual abuse, family disintegration, alcoholism, and domestic violence. The scale at which these stories were heard and witnessed in the open space of the city and by an audience of more than 1,500 on the Centro plaza over the two nights created a powerful impact and literally magnified what so often never gets spoken about. The projections took place February 23 and 24, 2001. -- inSITE2000 Centro Cultural Tijuana Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art 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 311, Folder 01, Item 408) [Title, Date].

title No Titledescription Argentinian-born artist Enrique Jezik's untitled piece for inSITE94 was located at the Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego. Jezik specifically wanted to consider issues he felt the site naturally conjured up and referenced, and that to him seemed two culturally shaping forces - labor and violence. Featuring elements such as railway ties and sledgehammers, the installation evoked strength and struggle through material and physical labor. --inSITE94 Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)
