Description
Sculpture and Installations Puerto Rican artist Pepón Osorio's project for inSITE94 was a continuation of his exploration of the issues particular to the experience Latin immigrants have as they settle and integrate into the culture of the United States. Entitled "Vista pública/Public Hearing," the installation dealt specifically with the frustrations and misunderstandings arising from interactions with government agencies. According to the artist the piece evolves each time it is presented at a new site within a new community facing issues that describe the immigrant experience. --inSITE94 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 261) [Title, Date].
