| Subsequently, fifteen students enrolled in an internship project
to create an exhibition at Capp Street Projects. Then-Governor Pete
Wilson’s State of the State address, excoriating teen pregnancy,
played as an audio track outside a gigantic twelve-foot high crib
designed by architect Lisa Findley. Audience squeezed in a tiny
space between the crib and the wall to view tiny drawings recounting
a narrative from first meetings with the fathers of their babies
to giving birth. At the back of the crib, stairs allowed audience
entry inside the crib, where a disordered and chaotic classroom
was piled with desks. At the front of the crib-room a large television
monitor featured Governor Pete Wilson delivering his address out
of synch with his voice, distantly audible outside the crib. Inside,
sound belonged to Asha Zitani’s rebuttal, played on a small
television, chastising Wilson’s punitive rhetoric. Inside
the desks clay sculptures by the young women and sound collages
by Unique Holland complemented the collective narrative.
