Passages

This program was created for a 1991 exhibition whose premise was quite formalist: that there are four types of passages "common to all migrant people": through historical time, through space, through seasons of nature, and through cycles of life. These passages were, furthermore, mapped on to four different cultural groups served by the Geneseo Migrant Center: Mexican, Algonquin Native, Haitian, and African American.

The effect was somewhat like a cognitive grid for recognizing commonalities of experience, although for the exhibition pieces were chosen to "highlight, for each group, one passage that receives particular expression and value in their art."
