Why this matters in The El Paso
As El Pasoans, we know a thing or two about the open road and the unique attractions that dot the American landscape. While Sarah Silbiger's photographs showcase the quirky charm of the East Coast, our own city has its own brand of roadside appeal. From the vintage neon signs that line our streets to the sprawling desert landscapes that surround us, there's no shortage of fascinating sights to capture through a camera lens or a windshield. Silbiger's project, "Wanderer's Window," may have been inspired by the kitsch of New England, but it's a reminder that every region has its own distinct character waiting to be discovered. As we consider our own city's place in the larger American landscape, we might ask what makes El Paso uniquely "Americana" - and how we can showcase that to visitors and locals alike.
