“Immigrant family from Milwaukee’s near South Side. Marta, the mother of the three daughters, was portrayed with her youngest in an earlier print entitled “Dream Act” that was included in a Just Seeds portfolio entitled Migration Now! They are pictured here on their front porch, next to plants commonly grown in their native state of Veracruz. The poem that accompanies this print, entitled “I am my Mother’s Smile” by Gabriella Anaīs Deal-Márquez, describes both the painful realities of loss of homeland, and the resilience of immigrant women grounded in the memories and preservation of their native traditions.”
