'Points of Entry' Puts Viewer In Shoes of the Immigrant
The images in "Points of Entry" - a sweeping photographic show on display at Miami's Museum of Art through Nov. 30 - invite the visitor not simply to observe and ponder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but to "live" the American immigrant experience.
The historical scope of the show's 370 documentary images is breathtaking.
But its power comes from the fact that it explores three facets of the immigration saga rarely seen together: the story of the diverse routes taken to reach American shores, the immigrants' views of of their new home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and their struggles to maintain a sense of identity.
" 'Points of Entry' " suggests a longer view of things," says Terence Pitts, one of the three curators of the exhibition.
Navigating through the tapestry of images and emotions makes it clear there is much more to immigration than dates, numbers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and dollars. The current debate over immigration laws today - which could tear families apart, deny benefits to senior foreigners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], kick illegal children out of school - lends an explosive contemporary raison d'tre to the exhibit.
Immigration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the exhibition movingly reminds us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is an ongoing human drama. It is full of complexities and contradictions. And it is made up of hopes and disappointments, joy and fears.
The three-part exhibition is a collaborative effort by three prestigious West Coast photo institutions.
"A Nation of Strangers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," put together by the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], offers 204 images of immigrants from the 1840s to today. The second part,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Reframing America," designed by the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ariz., showcases 133 photo essays by European migrs who fled poverty and fascism. "Tracing Cultures," put together by Friends of Photography in San Francisco, surveys 38 contemporary artworks.
Spectrum of humanity
"A Nation of Strangers" takes us through the whole spectrum of humanity flooding into America. In this patchwork of exotic colors and costumes, in this swirl of emotions, questions about when these people came,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where they came from,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and why they came aren't what matter. What counts a lot more is the intimacy of the children and families who packed their bags and came here and the toll in human anguish brought on by their journey.
"We need to put forward the idea that immigration is a shared experience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Lorrie Mertes, an assistant curator at the Miami show. "Immigration is an ongoing story in a country's history."
This tapestry of tales and experiences speaks to the universality of immigration.
It also provokes outrage. "Native of the soil, Arouse!" exhort self-proclaimed "natives" in a poster dating back from the mid-1800s, which warns about the "Ruinous Influence of Foreign Immigration on American Labor."
Like the poster, many images in "A Nation of Strangers" testify to the government policies and the national moods that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so often, turn an immigrant's dream into ugly reality. Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the photos echo in today's context, reminding us that many of today's immigration-related issues - such as the sometimes-perceived unfair treatment of certain immigrant groups versus other groups - have roots deep in history.相关的主题文章：
