In this intimate installation, Eva Aguila's “The Foundation of the Harvest/El Cimiento de la Cosecha” shares a story of Aguila’s family and the impact of their lives from the 20th-century Bracero Program to today’s H-2A visa system. Through objects, vintage family photos, archival materials, and video testimony, this exhibition honors Aguila’s family. It also highlights America's ongoing reliance on Mexican migrant labor and the activism of organizers like Aguila’s uncle, Jorge Campos Aguiñiga, who fought for laborers' rights.
Join the conversation at our next Artist Talk, “Eva Aguila in Conversation with Cielo Saucedo,” where they will discuss their creative practices and how they use archives to preserve these vital histories.
