Esl: Tonguetied
title Esl: Tonguetieddescription Boehm Gallery, Palomar College Drawings and Watercolors Graphic Design and Illustration Paintings Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The Border Art Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo's project, "ESL: tonguetied/lenguatrabada," dealt with the subject of cultural identity and the difficulties encountered in learning a language other than one's mother tongue. The project specifically referenced the impact of the recently adapted Proposition 187, a 1994 California ballot initiative designed to limit social services, health care, and public education for undocumented workers. At the same time, the project provided a space for responding to the implications of differentiating between "legal" and "illegal" immigrants. The installation consisted of a mock classroom with written questions on all surfaces and blackboard walls where viewers were invited to express their thoughts on the issues. -- inSITE94 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 02, Item 038) [Title, Date].
