Visions of the Borderlands: Myths and Realities is an exhibition
inspired by two works published by the University of Arizona
Press, Celluloid Pueblo by Jennifer L. Jenkins and Postcards from the
Sonora Border by Daniel D. Arreola. There is a reality and a myth of the
U.S.–Mexico borderlands, propagated through multiple lenses. Featuring
material depicting both reality and myth through photography, posters,
pamphlets and written documentation, this exhibit centers on important
areas of enterprise for the Southwest such as photography and film;
copper mining; tourism; and cattle ranching. It also expresses issues of
discord such as the Mexican Revolution, mining strikes and immigrant
exclusionary legislation of the time.
