Highlights the aesthetics of undocumentedness by featuring artworks from artists in the undoc spectrum
This book accompanies the Fowler Museum at UCLA exhibition (in)visibility, featuring the artwork of individuals in the undoc spectrum (currently or formerly undocumented). The works on view visually explore the aesthetics of undocumentedness, the complexity of immigration journeys, hyperdocumentation, re-indigenizing in diaspora, immigrant labor, healing from immigrant trauma, imperfect solidarities with exile and refugee communities, and remembrance of those who perished in search of the American dream. The show is guided by the aesthetic achievements of undoc artists; the publication is composed by undoc writers who, like the curator of this project, have been or are currently undocumented. The names of all participants have been purposefully concealed for their protection.
