About the Item
The artist describes this project:
“In this print, a geographic/physical border, such as the US/Mexico border wall, is a symbol of many other walls that exist between people. These other walls may be less obvious (like gender, class, ethnic, religious, and national origin stereotypes, among others), but as real as the physical ones. Yet, we are all one human species, despite our external differences. We realize this when we decide to cross over any border. The experience of crossing expands what language (visual or phonetic) can explain only in a limited way. Among the characters lining the wall in my print, the child represents an innocent mind still free of misrepresentations. Ancient line drawings between the portraits portray how pre-Columbian people represented themselves.”

View AllDetention 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...
