An index to the Califas audiotape is included in this collection.
The audio recordings include interviews by Ed Carrillo and Cruz Zamarron in preparation for the Califas art exhibition. Other recordings include an artists’ panel discussion, audio recordings of interviews with artists that were transferred from videotapes to audio-cassettes. There are also audio recordings of poetry.
Box 1 contains personal papers, ephemera and photos of a Juan Muñoz Menchaca and his family and friends. It appears that Muñoz Menchaca is Mexican migrant from Tijuana whose discarded suitcase containing materials documenting his life was found by Philip Brookman at the railroad tracks in San Diego in 1986. Brookman used selected images from these documents and photos in his documentary film, Mi Otro Yo. Included in the box are a synopsis of Mi Otro Yo as well as a script and other production related files.
