Gestalt A combination of very clean graphics, a primary color palette and light color wood, the visitor is immersed in a very clean design. This allows them to focus on the stories told by immigrants in the local community. The artwork throughout the exhibition allows for a break from all of the heavy information and lets the visitor get lost while they reflect in the humanity of the exhibit.

Voice The voice of this exhibition is that of an ally. This person makes the visitor feel safe while also informed without being condescending. The whole exhibition is also in Spanish and English, with Spanish being more prominent. There are interludes where the voice is that of the immigrants sharing their stories.

Walkthrough Threshold The visitor sees neon light coming from the windows of the gallery. The two side windows containing a supergraphic of City Hall, with a neon sign shining with the title of the exhibition in front, “Ciudad Santuario: Philadelphia’s Role as a Sanctuary City”. The middle window holds four neon signs by Mexican artist Patrick Martinez, mimicking the neon signs one sees outside of bodegas or other business. However, upon reading them, the visitor realizes these are signs of protest, not a typical sign. This catches their curiosity and invites them to come inside.

Introduction As the visitor enters the exhibit, they are greeted once again by a similar image to that of the title, but this time, City Hall’s William Penn statue is glowing, giving the feeling of warmth and finding a safe space. The title is hanging printed on a screen in front of the top right section of the image. The visitor notices the title “Cuidad Santuario”, now has a translation in English underneath.

The wall immediately to the right has a supergraphic of a person covering themselves with the American flag, the words “Philadelphia’s Role as a Sanctuary City” written in both languages across the image. At this point, the visitor realizes the

exhibit is bilingual since the text that follows is also on both languages. Here they find a few quick and hard facts about the current state of immigration and how they affect those living through it, such as the fact that there are 55,000 diversity visas in the green card lottery, while there were 14.7 million qualified applications in 2018, or that there were 445,000 deportations in 2016, compared to 165,000 in 2002. This allows them to start putting into context some of the struggles immigrants face, particularly those that are undocumented. Finally, the visitor comes to the introduction label to the exhibit. A panel in Spanish with a light blue background introducing Sanctuary Cities, with the English version in smaller text, to the side. An image of a man at the Mexican border underneath the text as a big graphic, chosen because here is where it all begins and ends for many of these undocumented immigrants.

Philadelphia Proud Being an open floor plan, visitors have the opportunity to go into the middle architectural structure, resembling the lines of a church with its arches, where they can learn more about how Philadelphia is proud to be a Sanctuary City. Here there is also information on several organizations currently working towards bringing awareness or doing other work to help undocumented

immigrants, such as Mural Arts, Juntos, New Sanctuary Movement and more. On either side, there is colored glass that gives a glimpse at what is on the other end. The visitor can then choose to go take a look at the map of the United States, where visitors can explore all of the different types of sanctuaries around the country, from cities to counties and states, showing Philadelphia is not alone.

Philadelphia as Immigrant City From there the visitor goes to the timeline, which catches their eye with its multiple layers and the light behind the bottom portion of the wall. This section introduces the beginning of the Sanctuary Movement in the late 70s until today with Minister John Fife in Tucson, AZ and his fellow community members leading the fight to help those immigrants crossing the border and seeking asylum in the US. Again the Spanish label is more prominent but still in the light blue color for consistency, while the English can be found on the left-hand side. Significant laws and the presidents that enacted them are highlighted by marine blue panels with a drawer made of maple veneer underneath.

When the visitor opens it, they find a green card from the time and a document resulting from these laws. On top of the navy panels, the visitor can see 3D acrylic tubes representing the

more prominent immigrant groups during each of these decades in Philadelphia. The bigger tubes, of course, indicating larger quantities coming from a particular country. The trend showing that during the 1970s there were more Europeans than any other group coming to Philadelphia, but it has shifted to now being more immigrants from Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

The timeline ends with Philadelphia’s most recent battle with the federal government regarding their Sanctuary City status, in which they almost lost all federal funding for declaring themselves supporters of undocumented immigrants. Here, finally, the visitor gets a better idea of the full graphic being created by the lit up yellow resin at the bottom of the wall and the red paint in the background. The yellow one showing the number of immigrants

Mera Designs 1116 Daly St. Philadelphia, PA 19148 856.761.7939 Client: Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery University of the Arts 333 S. Broad St. Philadelphia, PA 19107 215.717.6480

total in Philadelphia during these decades, and the red one showing the surrounding suburbs. Visitors are able to understand how the city has grown and shifted through these decades.

At the very end of the wall, the visitor encounters an interactive map of Philadelphia, where they’re able to press a button and it lights up with a specific color representing the neighborhoods all of these immigrant groups call home. Showing how diverse Philly is, a true city of neighborhoods. The map uses LED’s behind an opaque plexiglass to light up with the different colors.

Finally, the visitor comes to a small gallery with cold fluorescent lighting above three touchscreen kiosks. The whole scene reminiscent of an immigration or customs office with case behind the kiosks. Inside those cases whose vitrines are made to look like the windows between an official and the visitor, there are cases holding some objects people that crossed the border were holding when they arrived, as well as images of people and their objects taken by photographer, lit from behind with white light. The touchscreen interactive is a series of five questions based off of today’s laws that visitors must answer in order for them to find out if they would be allowed to enter the country, were they born somewhere else. Most of them would be denied entry, with the goal of showing that even without their lives being in danger, today’s laws make it virtually impossible or may to even be considered for a visa.

The Immigrant Experience If when the visitor arrived in that section all three kiosks were being used, they can experience the video and audio stories centered in the middle of the gallery. There are three sections, each highlighted by a primary color - part of the color scheme.

The first section in light blue shares the stories of undocumented immigrants about their lives back in their home countries and why they had to leave and seek asylum. These are short stories lasting between 1:00 min and 1:30 min in video form. There are two different screens and each screen has two sets of headphones attached. The visitor then has the opportunity to pick from three different people’s stories, all spoken in Spanish with English subtitles. The big wall in the corner of the section has an introduction asking the visitor to put themselves in the shoes of these people.

The second section in red, with an introduction about the different dangers people crossing the border, have to face, asks the visitor to listen and try to imagine being faced the dangerous journey these immigrants had to make to come here. The two walls in the center at either side have two sets of headphones each and by pressing a button next to the names of the people sharing the stories, the recording begins. This section offers the chance to pick from either language.

The final section in yellow, reminiscent of a new beginning, then shares the stories of the same immigrants whose journeys the visitor has followed, and their lives in Philadelphia since they arrived. The introduction highlighting positive views of immigrants in Philadelphia and all they bring to the community.

Mera Designs 1116 Daly St. Philadelphia, PA 19148 856.761.7939 Client: Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery University of the Arts 333 S. Broad St. Philadelphia, PA 19107 215.717.6480

Through the exit to the left, the visitor can see a neon American flag that looks like it’s falling apart, done by artist Patrick Martinez and it catches their attention. An art installation with illustrations of people being detained at the border or being sent to detention centers after being deported introduce the next section of the exhibit. The ofrenda, with dozens of flowers, photos, and notes, pay respect to those people who have had to go back or have lost their lives. Here the visitor can see a case to the right side with some bigger objects left behind by those who have been deported, such as a shirt left behind by the mother of Diana, alongside some prayer candles that would not leave her side. To allow the visitor to leave their message or drawing, there is a custom made case and workstation across from the ofrenda. Here they are able to use paper and pencil to leave their mark. This case also holds smaller objects, such as photographs, letters, and jewelry. In the vitrines, there are a few mid-size objects, such as a stuffed animal or Bible.

The ofrenda also offers the ability to send a picture via text to a specific number, to see it appear in one of the two screens set up.

20

Needs and Solutions Finally, once the visitor is done sharing their story, they see that the wall to their right has proposed solutions by different members of the government with the pros and cons of their plans.

Here people are able to leave a round sticker next to the person’s they agree with the most. In a way they are casting their vote, empowering them to do so again. Right next to it, a set of 16 card holders contain business cards with different ways people can get involved and make a difference. From offering places where they can volunteer at to organizations they can donate money or resources to, representatives they can call and places they can support that will give back, among other opportunities to help out.

This allows the visitor to take it with them and take action once they have had some time to process the whole exhibition.
