Figure 3. The two timelines, "historical" and "Damayan", upon scanning, and the final visual after stitching in Photoshop. Interviews and conversations with staff revealed historical and emotional underpinnings of several milestones. The anti-immigration sentiment following 9/11 was one major reason for Damayan’s founding. From 2016 onwards, the organization pushed on in the midst of intensified fears of hostile encounters with ICE among its members.
Two long, horizontal colored pencil drawings on dark blue and light green paper. One has a few human figures but mostly objects and places. The other is full of people, doing things and interacting with each other. Below them, the two drawings are digitally combined into one.
