Destino
the inexorable journey across Mexico to El Sueño Americano
Michelle Frankfurter
April 15 - June 3 2011
Artist Statement : My project, Destino, meaning both “destination” and “destiny” in Spanish, portrays Central American migrants who endure a host of adversities in a desperate, gauntlet-running journey across Mexico. In a wandering odyssey, they travel on foot and by rail, often relying on the network of freight trains lurching across Mexico in an attempt to enter the United States illegally. Central American migration to the United States began in the 1980’s – the consequence of bloody civil wars and relentless poverty. Like Mexico, the Central American nations of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala suffer from similar drug and gang related violence and a high incidence of domestic abuse. Crippling NAFTA/CAFTA trade policies have exacerbated the situation for the nations’ poor. In 2009, democratically-elected Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya was ousted by a military coup, further destabilizing an already struggling economy and increasing human rights violations.

presented with the Baltimore's the Windup Space
The New Clear Daze exhibit is an exploration of similarities and differences in the work of four emerging Baltimore visual artists. David Fair, Matt Bovie, Eamon Espey, Andrew Liang focus heavily on color and pattern in their work, yet each has a unique and visceral approach. The media employed by these artists ranges widely, from textile-based to illustration and mixed media to painting.
