The JSMA\u2019s fourth \u201cCommon Seeing\u201d exhibition supports the UO\u2019s 2019-20 \u201cCommon Reading\u201d of Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes. In the book, the resilient protagonist,13-year-old Estrella, works in the hot California grape fields while navigating the realities of first love, financial struggle, family separation, and illness. For more information about the \u201cCommon Reading,\u201d including upcoming university events, visit commonreading.uoregon.edu. Two special loans from the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) by artists Emanuel Martinez and Domingo Ulloa anchor the exhibition. Martinez created Farm Workers\u2019 Altar (1967) for the Catholic Mass held in Delano, California, at which labor activist C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez broke his twenty five-day fast in 1968. Ulloa, \u201cThe Father of Chicano Art,\u201d painted Braceros (1960) after visiting a labor camp in Holtville, California. From 1942 through 1964, the U.S. government invited agricultural workers from Mexico for limited-duration assignments to relieve the worker shortage caused by World War II. Ulloa presented a sobering view of the reality of life for these braceros (from the Spanish for \u201cone who works using his arms,\u201d implying manual labor), who experienced poor working conditions, crowded living quarters, and other challenges while employed in the United States. These special loans provide historical and cultural touchstones for Viramontes\u2019s 1995 novel and contemporary works from the JSMA\u2019s permanent collection, including recent acquisitions by Ester Hern\u00e1ndez, Victor Maldonado, and Lilliam Nieves.<\/p>\n
