Terreno: Borderlands Linguistics is a publication comprising innovative texts and print-based artworks showcasing the spectrum of art produced in response to the ongoing immigration / emigration crisis, a global phenomenon with a huge local impact. Terreno: Borderland Linguistics in the Present Cartographers Series was assembled by a collective of editors who write, “This chapbook is emerging from a piece of ground, terreno – perhaps a place in which people gather to make art and write about a specific social and political theme; or a place of tradition and ancestry from which people are forced to leave; or, a new territory in which land disputes are nearly ancient, where the land itself might be described as blood soaked.”
Editors
Sylvia Arthur (Ghana and UK), Daisy Quezeda Ureña (US) and Lois Klassen (Canada) collectively edited Terreno: Borderland Linguistics in 2017. Many of the artists, writers and performers included in the publication participated in Santa Fe Art Institute’s Immigration/Emigration residencies, alongside Arthur, Quezeda Ureña and Klassen. In Terreno, the editors focused on situated and practice-based approaches that reflect resistance to dominant political frameworks and oppressions in border regions.
