Description
Photographs Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Guillermo Gómez-Peña and Roberto Sifuentes staged “The Cruci-Fiction Project” in 1994, attaching themselves to 12 by 8 foot crosses at Rodeo Beach, Marin Headlands Park in front of 300 invited guests and members of the press. The performance was meant to be a critique of the state-sponsored enmity of people of color, specifically Latinos, in California. Roberto Sifuentes represents the generic gang member who has been crucified by the Los Angeles Police Department.
