The Chinese American Museum (CAM) and El Pueblo de Los Angeles
Historical Monument are proud to present Dreams Deferred: Artists
Respond to Immigration Reform opening on December 10, 2010. This
exhibit will showcase local artists exploring the tensions,
repercussions, hopes, and dreams of immigrant communities in the face
of new immigration legislation, through a broad spectrum of art
including street art, graffiti art, sculpture, painting, and
multimedia installations.
“Dreams Deferred is a powerful and timely exhibit that captures the
complexities of the immigrant experience”, notes Kent Wong Director of
the Center for Labor Research and Education at UCLA. “Special focus is
on the plight of millions of undocumented immigrant youth and students
who are unfortunate victims of a broken system. This art show brings
together talented local artists who express their views on immigration
in creative and dynamic ways.”
U.S. immigration laws have long reflected a lasting legacy of racial
exclusion starting with the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, the first
legislation to restrict immigration based on race and ethnicity. This
legacy of immigration legislation targeting immigrant communities has
since reemerged in the recent decades with California's Proposition
187, and Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070, as attempts at inhibiting the
livelihoods of undocumented immigrants.
Dreams Deferred continues the current national dialogue about
immigration, kicked-off by the recent opening of CAM’s Remembering
Angel Island, an exhibition commemorating the 100th year anniversary
of the opening of the West Coast’s first immigration station. Both
exhibitions will serve to shed light on the parallels of past and
current immigration policies and reform, and how Los Angeles’ diverse
immigrant communities collectively share not only their immigrant
histories, but also many of the challenges facing new immigrant
communities today.
