Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description Picture of Ester Hernandez' art installation Sun Mad (ofrenda dedicated to the artist's father, a farm worker from the San Joaquin Valley, CA) (1989) at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, in 2023. A two-part installation sits in the corner of a gallery, comprising a large multidimensional framed print hanging from two wires, situated above a gathering of objects on the ground. The print depicts an alternate version of the front of a Sun-Maid box of raisins, a produce brand associated with California. The female farm worker shown on the front of these boxes is depicted on the print as a smiling skeleton carrying a basket of raisins, with the phrases "Sun Mad Raisins" and "Unnaturally grown with insecticides, miticides, herbices, fungicides" printed below her. The print is housed in a frame that features vertical blinds that show the original version of the box when viewed from side angles. On the ground below the hanging print, several objects have been arranged inside a circle of yellow flowers and small stones filled with sand or dirt. Among the objects are a water canteen, a black lunchbox, an aluminum basket filled with green grapes and a set of gloves, a straw hat adorned with a small farmworker's union pin, and a small white portable radio. Two lines of flowers bisect the circle, meeting in the center at the aluminum basket, and four unlit candles featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe have been placed where the lines of flowers meet the circle's edges.
