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.

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. After years of unsuccessfully trying to enroll in a 4-year college, Alma graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 2016 thanks to a private scholarship.
14. SIAMGW_170115_132.JPG: Tution [sic] cost School ... In-state tuition and fees per year (2016-2017) ... Out-of-state tuition and fees per year (2016-2017) University of Maryland ... $10,180 ... $32,044 University of Virginia ... Up to $18,554 (depending on the school) ...

15. SIAMGW_170115_145.JPG: We are speaking out here ... because we were not invited to speak in there! -- Farm Workers & Farm Worker Advocates
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.
17. SIAMGW_170115_161.JPG: An Immigrant Connection to a Country of Immigrants, 2016 Nico Amortegui Charlotte, NC This piece represents new beginnings and home for immigrants and their communities. It includes all people that have embraced Latinx people and culture.
18. SIAMGW_170115_168.JPG: Breathing Peace in Patterson Park, Baltimore, symbolizes peace, diversity, and unity. Created by Uruguayan artist Pablo Machioli.
19. SIAMGW_170115_170.JPG: Madre Protectora (Mother Protector), 2015 Rosalia Torres-Weiner Charlotte, NC Marian symbolism is powerful throughout Latin America. This re-imagining of la virgin de Guadeloupe as a millennial with an AK-47 shows that faith can be as strong as the challenges we face.
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
21. SIAMGW_170115_184.JPG: Discrimination can be hostile. This flyer calls for White action against Latinxs.
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. The principal characters are a jaguar and old men with exaggerated European features in charro suits. The two costumes seen here are from a VA-based troupe that has performed at Fiesta DC, Latino Fest, and many other festivals in the area.
25. SIAMGW_170115_269.JPG: Gateways/Portales mural, 2016 Rosalia Torres-Weiner, Charlotte, NC This mural was inspired by and created for the exhibition Gateways.

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
