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.
