Stratagems (an overture)
by Lindsay Buchman
Stratagems (an overture) is a visual document of archival materials, film stills, and photographs, part of an overarching project, Everything I’ve Ever Loved, which considers Orange County, California’s history of landholdings, subdivisions, conservatism, and underrepresented narratives through the lens of a mixed-race Chicana and a transracial adoptee. The publication examines autobiographical and historical accounts, mapping the relationship between home, place, and belonging as a multimedia autoethnography. Drawing on regional archives as source material, this ongoing work aims to interrogate a history of racism within OC connected to the rise of white nationalism and the religious right, libertarianism, and anti-immigration policies within Southern California, emphasizing how geography shapes racialized experiences of place.
Archival research was conducted in public archives at the Orange County & Southeast Asian Archive Center at the University of California Irvine (Irvine, CA) and the Orange County Archives (Santa Ana, CA). Archival images are courtesy of OC Archives—all other images and text by the artist.
