Tierra y Libertad / Little México

Tierra y Libertad / Little México is the latest issue in the artist project, Reading the Migration Library (launch - October, 2020). It is comprised of a poster/booklet, a pamphlet with a conversation between Carlos Colín and Lois Klassen, and a coloured paper band that holds the components together. The bilingual poster/booklet (flutter-fold) is designed to be included in the mobile Spanish language free library that Carlos Colín helped to set up for Mexican Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) in the Fraser Valley, near Vancouver, Canada. Boxes of books are available on farms for TFWs to borrow and enjoy. These mini-bibliotecas were initiated in conjunction with Colín’s exhibition, Little México, that took place at The Reach Gallery Museum in 2019. A statement about Dignidad Migrante Society is included at the end of the conversation.
