From There To Here

It was the summer of 1992 when i arrived to the Southern California the place that would be my home for the next 2 decades and a half. De El Distrito Federal a La Frontera Norte Americana llege. this moment has served to be a anchor to my identity as an immigrant,pocho,mojado,wetback,traveller,and artist as well as a translatable characteristic living in a country of immigrants . in 2011 i would have the opportunity to share this story with the Students of Berkeley Highs Arts and Humanities Academy as the Visiting Artist on the FROM HERE TO THERE interdisciplinary project. Which focused to use techniques in performance , visual arts, English and science to tell stories of immigrants who had come to call Berkeley HOME .Together we created a series of memory boxes that would serve as capsules to the stories .here are some Photos documenting the process and presentation
