LA Museums Have Failed Undocumented Immigrants

LA Museums Have Failed Undocumented Immigrants
SHARE

The recent deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles to target undocumented immigrants has sparked outrage and protests across the city. Despite the significant presence of museums in the backdrop of these protests, the majority of major arts organizations in LA have remained silent on the issue.

In a city boasting over 800 museums, only a handful have publicly expressed support for the undoc+ community, with many using vague terms like “immigrants” and “migrants” instead of specifically addressing the plight of the undocumented population. This lack of specificity highlights a systemic issue within the arts ecosystem, where undoc+ voices are underrepresented in positions of power.

While undoc+ artists have gained recognition in prestigious art exhibitions and museums, the reluctance of institutions to openly discuss undocumentedness is concerning. The recent deaths of individuals from various nationalities in ICE custody further emphasize the global ramifications of undocumented status and the need for inclusive language in addressing immigration issues.

Some community-focused museums, such as the Japanese American National Museum, have taken a stand against mass deportations and questioned the lack of due process for marginalized communities. However, larger institutions like LACMA and the Getty have yet to join the conversation, raising questions about their commitment to serving the diverse population of LA.

The responsibility of creating space for discussions on undocumented concerns should not solely fall on artists, as museums play a crucial role in shaping public discourse. Calls for museums to do better by the undoc+ community have been met with mixed responses, with some institutions focusing more on showcasing artwork by privileged artists rather than addressing the pressing issues faced by undocumented individuals.

Despite these challenges, some organizations like Self-Help Graphics and ICA LA have shown solidarity with immigrant communities and actively supported initiatives to uplift their narratives. These efforts provide hope that museums can one day become sanctuaries for undoc+ artists and unite in authentic solidarity with marginalized communities.

As the conversation around undocumented issues continues to evolve, it is essential for museums to actively engage with the undoc+ community and address their concerns in a meaningful way. Only through genuine solidarity and inclusivity can museums truly serve as beacons of social change and advocacy for all individuals, regardless of their immigration status.
