Artist Johnny Coleman described his installation Crossroads/BAGGAGE BUILDING/Encrucijadas/BODEGA DE EQUIPAJE, located in the baggage building in the Santa Fe Depot, as a “found poem consisting of stories collected by following the tracks.” The artist spent months traveling the California railroad to collect stories of migration and personal accounts of working on the railroad. These traces provided the material for the various elements in the installation, including audio narratives, music, various props, and construction elements.
