On View from 08.22.22 - 11.04.22: All the Sacrifices You’ve Made / Todos Los Sacrificios Que Has Hecho
Borderland Collective’s Mark Menjivar and Jason Reed’s exhibition entitled All the Sacrifices You’ve Made / Todos Los Sacrificios Que Has Hecho is on view for the fall semester at Sabinal Gallery. It opens on August 22nd and runs through November 4th.
All the Sacrifices You’ve Made / Todos Los Sacrificios Que Has Hecho is a collaboration between students and staff from the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) at the University of Washington and Borderland Collective, an arts collective from Texas. On the UW campus since 2010, CAMP was first started in 1972 to support the educational ambitions of the children of migrant and seasonal farm workers. Participants curated photos from their family albums, made new photographs, and recorded their oral histories. The pictures were scanned and reproduced, allowing the family to keep the originals in their possession. The resulting pictures, text, video, and audio exhibited are an expression and acknowledgment of the contributions, resilience, joys, and sacrifices made by farm worker families from the eastern Washington agricultural regions of Yakima and Wenatchee. Originally commissioned by the Washington State History Museum, the work created from the collection will be added to the Washington State Historical Society archives.
