About the Item
This print presents a fictitious encounter between contemporary colonial forces and Native Americans who are defenders of immigrant refugees and displaced populations.
The artist describes this project:
A collage of a six-year-old Mayan girl with an Aztec headdress and the body of Capitan America from a 1993 Marvel Comics book represents the early American Nations. In my version she encounters a white supremacist character at the Grand Canyon in a comic book style.
The dominant paradigm ignores the history of immigration that started with the first undocumented settlers. It is a forgotten history about the founding of our country at the expense of Native Americans, African Americans who are descendants of slaves that were forced to come to the country, early Mexicans who lived in the Southwest for centuries before it was part of the U.S. and people from Puerto Rico after its annexation. They did not cross the border; the border crossed them.
From this historic perspective, contemporary hard working undocumented immigrants contribute to our economy and culture and should be welcomed as new Americans.

Detention at the Border of Language
By Enrique Chagoya
Located in Lyons, CO
Color lithograph, Edition 30.
The artist describes this project:
“In this work I defang the stereotypes of Native Americans depicted as primitive savages in the painting by Wimar. The mask and the Mayan head team up with a third character to form a fictitious, original, trans-continental Border Patrol. This work is a humorous reminder that all nations in the Americas were created by undocumented immigrants from Europe. Today, some politicians call refugees from Central America and other countries “illegal aliens” but for me they are no different from the Pilgrims or Daniel Boone...

No Olvidadas (No Forgotten)
By Juan Fuentes
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Medium: linocut
Year: 2023
Image Size: 24 x 18 inches
Edition Size: 10
An hommage to all those immigrants who die on the journey as they seek asylum in new countries.
As a cultural activist/artist/printmaker, Juan Fuentes has dedicated his career to being part of a global movement for social change. His works address issues relating to local communities of color, social justice, and international struggles for liberation.
The turbulent times of the 70’s set the tone for Fuentes' approach to creating social art. The Chicano, African American, Middle Eastern, Asian and Native American struggles for equality, peace and justice helped shape the themes that recur in his art.
His development and introduction to silkscreen printing by mentors such as Rupert Garcia and Malaquias Montoya guided his subsequent community and political poster involvement.
Fuentes' relief printing process follows closely the social realist tradition of Latin American artists such as Jose Guadalupe Posada...
