All The Sacrifices You’ve Made/Todos Los Sacrificios Que Has Hecho
Opening Reception - Meet the curators and artists at the History Museum
Thursday, April 21, 6:00-8:00 PM
FREE
Recordings of local students play in the gallery, giving voice to a collage of images moving across a video screen. The smiling and sometimes serious faces of aunts and uncles, parents, siblings, and friends complement stories of relationships, work, traditions, recreation, and contemporary life in the agricultural worker communities of Yakima and Wenatchee. The walls of the gallery are lined with photos from family albums and new works created by the students, paired with personal descriptions.
On April 21, explore this uniquely personal exhibition and at 7 PM meet its creators: Borderland Collective’s Jason Reed and Mark Menjivar will be here from Texas, alongside students and faculty from the College Assistance Migrant Program at the University of Washington. Join in what is sure to be a fascinating conversation!

A video screen in the exhibition gallery shares a moving collage of images from exhibition contributors.
Subaru, from the family archive of Moises Mendez. "In this picture, my parents are taking their 6 kids on a drive through the snow at the orchards close to where they lived at the time. My siblings were very fond of that old Subaru and were sad when my dad sold it. My father is the photographer and my mother is seen in the passenger seat. During this time my father was the only one working and maintaining the family because, during the cold seasons, the demand for field workers dramatically decreases."
My brother, Julian Olmos, from the family archive of Orfill Olmos. "These orchard cabins are where my family first lived when we first came to the U.S. (1988-91). Each family shared a small one-room cabin. They worked in the cherry, apple, and pear orchards owned by the same ranch. This is where my brother and older cousins first learned to play basketball."
Mother: Maria Rosarion Montes de Oca, Brother: Francisco Alvares Montes de Oca, Sister: Martha Delfina Alvares Montes de Oca, Myself: Luz Maria Iniguez, from the family archive of Luz Maria Iniguez. "From a very young age, my siblings, my mom, and I would pick cherries at various orchards in the Yakima Valley. We used to work from about 4:30 am until it was too hot to pick cherries."
