“In Search of Camiyote Consuelo to ask for Safe Passage Across Borders”
Camiyote Consuelo is a three headed deity living at the borderlands of the spirit, physical, and dream realms. It has the power to move seamlessly through realms, shapeshift, and summon groups of species to provide safe crossing and passage through any borderland obstacle. Its favored and original form is that of a three headed coyote. Camiyote is a land steward devoted to the health and balance of the earth’s ecological ecosystems and migratory patterns. Their main motivation lies in a devotion to providing safe crossing and passage for genuine spirits, especially migratory species and species threatened by extinction. Every once in a while they will guide a human with a genuine heart to a safe space. However, this is rare since Camiyote actively opposes borders and those who establish barriers that create blockages for migratory movement (humans).
This exhibition follows a fictional story of a woman named Vera through a personal altar display with a collection of artifacts in search for a deity she encountered in her childhood,
In a moment of despair and hopelessness, Camiyote Consuelo appeared to Vera and guided her safely to a new home and family after becoming lost while crossing the Mexican/American Border. The memories of this deity consume Vera now in her old age, as she tries to piece together her past while attempting to call upon Camiyote for safe passage of immigrants at risk of being lost and harmed at the borderlands.
