For Paola de la Calle, art has been a catalyst. The Colombian-American artist has spent the I Sew A Piece Of My Heart Into Every Quilt I Make T-Shirt moreover I will buy this past several months working with Galería de la Raza (a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco dedicated to promoting Xicanx/Latinx art and culture) and other groups to protest, create, and demand for the rights of Latin American migrant children detained at the border. Central to the campaign are five quilts that weave together a story of liberation, reunification, and healing. De la Calle, who often incorporates and interrogates social issues in her practice, created the quilts for the Caravan for the Children campaign, an effort aimed to influence the first 100- days of President Biden’s administration. We spoke to Paola de la Calle about her work and the importance of turning conversations into tangible actions.I grew up surrounded by a lot of very strong women that all had some type of creative process. They were always making things with their hands. From an early age, I was exposed to the power of expressing myself in creative ways and witnessed the possibility of making a living doing creative work.I think it’s interesting that it was mainly women who influenced me because we know our work is often invisible to many, but to me it was a natural part of my childhood and adulthood. I constantly wanted to express myself with art. However it wasn’t until I took a printmaking class in college and specialized in sociology that I started to make political posters and center myself on topics that I thought were important. That was the start of my understanding that art isn’t just paintings in a museum. There are other ways artists can create. There are other ways to bring art to the world. There are alternate ways to involve the public and the community like the one I come from, that maybe don’t have access to these elite institutions, but should have access to art.Imports, Exports, and Legacies, 2020. Image courtesy of Paola de la Calle.How is your creative process? What do you consider most important when creating?My work often begins with a question about the history that is being presented and, if there is a story being told, what is the story or perspective that isn’t being told? So I always begin with a question and my perspective and upbringing always influence my work. I grew up in a family of “mixed” backgrounds. My parents were undocumented, my sister was undocumented, all the the adults in my life were undocumented. I think it really changed my understanding of privilege and it also made me feel anger. For a long time, I used my anger and channeled it into my art. I also have experience as an educator so I realized that art could also be a great tool to teach.Chiquita, Picosa, y Peligrosa, 2021. Image courtesy of the artist.Tell us about Caravan for the Children, how was this project conceived?I got involved with the project through my residency at Galería de la Raza, with the idea of bringing art into this political movement. I think art sometimes does what words can’t. And the call here is to take these children out of cages and reunite them with their families. I think there is a missing step here, and that is the step of healing. These children are facing a lot of trauma. The separation from their families is very difficult and I believe that if we consider the reality that they will carry this trauma with them for many years into the future, we realize it is our responsibility. People aren’t migrating to this country for pleasure. There are a lot of policies that the United States has promulgated throughout history that now affect the living conditions in all of Latin America, especially Central America. And the notion of healing is a very important part of the conversation. This project was always very personal to me.A Poem for Keith Johnston (This Map Is Not Ours), 2020. Image courtesy of Paola de la Calle.What does the Caravan for the Children represent artistically?The quilts that I am creating for this project include the poems of 10 Central American poets that offer different perspectives on resistance, liberation, and home. Some of them imagine different futures, some of them imagine different gifts. It was important to me that these voices shined and informed the images that were created for the quilts because this isn’t something a single person can have a full perspective on. It’s about community, it’s about uniting people to work together to request the reunification and the healing of these children.What were some of the activities planned around Caravan for the Children?On May 1—the hundredth day of the Biden-Harris administration—the quilts were unveiled in Washington, D.C. The quilts allow us to imagine the liberation, reunification, and healing of the children, present us with the historic importance of this moment, and serve as an opportunity to take action.As the main artist in this campaign, it is vital to also bring in the historical narrative and politics of the work of art rather than focus on the trauma. I firmly believe that we do not need to see the violence to understand the pain, to feel empathy and want to do something about it. The quilts are really a symbol of relief and a symbol of community.March in Washington, D.C. with the quilts on May 1, 2021. Image courtesy of Paola de la Calle.What message do you want to share about Caravan for the Children?I would say that we should invest in the present to create a better future. In this case, children are particularly important because we often say children are the future, but children are also our present. What is happening today and what happens now informs what will happen in the future. That has been the case throughout history. I hope that the readers can understand that we need to invest in the lives of these children and in the way they are treated so that their future is a joyful one and real change can be made.
I Sew A Piece Of My Heart Into Every Quilt I Make T-Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt
It’s not very often that you visit a museum exhibition and see your feelings precisely on display. As a Black woman whose work and writing sit at the I Sew A Piece Of My Heart Into Every Quilt I Make T-Shirt moreover I will buy this intersection of grief and racism, I have always felt a deep sense of responsibility to acknowledge Black grief. In a country keen to remind us that we are less than, even in death, Black people need spaces and places where they can safely mourn. The exhibition at New York’s New Museum, “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America”—which was conceived by curator Okwui Enwezor in 2018—serves as a public reminder that Black grief matters, independent of any whiteness. (Enwezor passed away in 2019 at the age of 55, while curating this exhibit.) The pain that comes from living with Black skin in this country has a right to stand on its own. Black people are worthy of honor and care.As I made my way through the museum, I kept asking myself the same question: What might we collectively achieve if this country loved Black people as much as it loves Black culture? What might be possible if we gave Black people space to grieve, space to acknowledge the trauma that comes with Black life in America, space to process the pain of racism? Who might we be free to become? In the absence of the safety and care that healing requires, these pieces from 37 Black artists remind me of the magic that is Blackness. No matter the grief we carry, we continue to produce light and move with joy. We have made a way out of no way, as the saying goes, and we regularly work to make a country great that routinely seeks to diminish our contributions and silence our pain. Arthur Jafa’s film, Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death, directly speaks to this with its jarring and beautiful imagery, filled with vibrant church services, James Brown performances, Michael Jordan’s feats of greatness, and video footage from protests and police shootings.Having lost a mother, a pregnancy, and, more recently, a cousin to COVID, I know the space that grief requires. I have had to learn how to heal from loss and, eventually, how to live a joyful life amid grief, and you cannot do that if you are forced to constantly defend your grief, assert your value, and protect yourself. Proper healing simply isn’t possible when safety is absent. In Entryways, by Diamond Stingily, a series of old, locked doors have baseball bats underneath their handle. They brought back memories of my grandmother, a brilliant Black woman who, with only a high school degree, became an early employee at IBM. As kids, little kids, we all knew my grandmother had a mother-of-pearl-handled revolver in her headboard. Her gun, just like the baseball bats, was a reminder of the state of constant alertness that Blackness requires. Black women cannot expect protection from a country that has never asserted our value.What was most distressing for me as I viewed these pieces was this feeling that little has changed for Black people in America over the last century: The majority of these pieces are not recent works of art, and only six were created in 2020. When I spoke to the artist Glenn Ligon, whose work A Small Band is featured on the museum’s façade, he described it as “tentative progress.” Everything in the Museum feels timely, relevant, and urgent. With the summer of 2020, the recent spate of police shootings, and the upcoming anniversary of George Floyd ’s murder, what quickly becomes clear is that this is a repetitive cycle in America that has been ongoing for hundreds of years. Black grief that is subjugated to white grievance is like a scratched record stuck on the same track. Everyone considered last year’s murder of George Floyd a wake-up call, but have we really woken up? Are we really moving toward a place where we all value Black life and Black death?I don’t know the answer, but I do know this: Black people must create safe spaces for grief and healing and ultimately joy. We cannot rely on America to honor our pain because it never has. As Glenn aptly put it, “We live in a country based on white supremacy—there is always going to be a George Floyd, so how do we [Black people] have moments of joy and transcendence despite the fact that these things continue?”Marisa Renee Lee is author of the forthcoming book Grief Is Love.
