Description of Pictures: Gateways/Portales
December 5, 2016 – August 6, 2017
Gateway: any entrance or passage that may be opened and closed.
What does it mean for Latino migrants and immigrants to make a home in a U.S. city? Both struggle and triumph. Through the gateways of social justice, community access, and public festivals, this exhibition explores the experiences of Latino migrants and immigrants in four U.S. metro areas: Washington DC, Baltimore, MD; Charlotte, NC; and Raleigh-Durham, NC.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIAMGW_170115_015.JPG: Latinx and Race Federal policy uses "Hispanic" and "Latino/a" to describe people of Latin American origin, heritage, and descent or other Spanish cultures who live in the United States. This exhibition uses the gender-neutral descriptor "Latinx" (pronounced "Latin-ex"). Latinxs can be of any race. Yet approximately two-thirds consider Latinx part of their racial identity. Why? Latinx is not a race, but Latinx people are racialized. The dominant racial framework of the US is Black and White. Latinxs are viewed as distinct from Black Americans and White Americans and therefore treated as a separate group. This irregularity makes it difficult for organizations like the US Census Bureau to keep accurate demographic profiles of Latinx people in the US.
2. SIAMGW_170115_022.JPG: We Are America, 2007 Nicholas Shi Washington, DC Many Latinxs express the feeling that they are second-class citizens, despite being an integral part of US society. We, too, are America.
3. SIAMGW_170115_029.JPG: Hispanics, the New Italians, 2015 Rosalia Torres-Weiner Charlotte, NC The Statue of Liberty is an iconic representation -- both hopeful and painful -- of arrival to the US. Currently Latin American immigration contributes to population growth in many gateway cities, creating urban change across the country.
4. SIAMGW_170115_038.JPG: Experimental questions for the upcoming 2020 census combine race and origin.
5. SIAMGW_170115_042.JPG: The 1930 census was the first and only time enumerators asked "Mexican" as a race. Shown here, the 1980 census was the first to ask all respondents about "Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin or descent.
6. SIAMGW_170115_049.JPG: Think about your origins, race, and ethnicity. In your own words, how do YOU identify?
7. SIAMGW_170115_055.JPG: Social Justice and Civil Rights Social justice issues include fights for equal education and economic access as well as struggles against unjust labor practices and racial profiling. The growth presence of Latinxs, a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-citizenship group, demands progress beyond a Black-White racial binary. We call ourselves "a nation of immigrants" but often discuss community relations in terms of Black and White citizens only. Does current public discourse promote the rights and justice for people of all races, languages, and citizenships?
8. SIAMGW_170115_075.JPG: This poster calls for more humane and sanitary conditions for farmworkers
9. SIAMGW_170115_095.JPG: To Start Racial Profiling Just Press the Black Button on the Police Siren Below.
10. SIAMGW_170115_099.JPG: Racial Profiling, 2014 Jose Manuel Cruz Raleigh, North Carolina These 24 diverse profile portraits challenge assumptions about who is perceived as dangerous. The center portraits are superimposed over newspaper headlines detailing incidents of racial profiling.
11. SIAMGW_170115_102.JPG: This handmade banner supports farmworkers from the North Carolina organization Triangle Friends of the United Farm Workers.
12. SIAMGW_170115_108.JPG: Realidad Nortena, (Reality of the North), 2016 Cornelio Campos Durham, North Carolina This autobiographical piece depicts Campos' journey from Cheran, Michoacan, Mexico to North Carolina, USA.
13. SIAMGW_170115_116.JPG: Undocumented activist Alma Islas was born in Mexico and raised in North Carolina since the age of 6.

14. SIAMGW_170115_132.JPG: Tution [sic] cost School ... In-state tuition and fees per year (2016-2017) ...

16. SIAMGW_170115_153.JPG: Celia con Rolos M. Tony Peralta, 2015 New York, NY Cuban-born music icon Celia Cruz is depicted with rolos, a staple of Dominican salons.

20. SIAMGW_170115_181.JPG: Between 2010 and 2011 only seven states did not pass any sort of anti-immigration law: Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, New Hampshire, Ohio, Wisconsin, Wyoming

22. SIAMGW_170115_187.JPG: This flyer calls for the deportation of Latinx immigrants in North Carolina.
23. SIAMGW_170115_194.JPG: The Other Face of an Immigrant Nicholas Shi, 2010 Washington, DC This self-portrait is a collage of newspaper headlines and articles celebrating the artist's accomplishments. This positive face of immigration exists in contrast to pervasive negative immigrant stereotypes.
24. SIAMGW_170115_210.JPG: "Tecuanes comes from the indigenous Nahatual language and refers to the jaguar. The Dance of the Tecuanes began in the late 1880s in southcentral Mexico.
