Los Lecheros: Immigrants in Wisconsin's Dairy Industry
Documentary screening with facilitated discussion
The fate of undocumented immigrant workers and Wisconsin's $43 billion dairy industry are closely intertwined. On Wisconsin dairy farms today, immigrants make up a majority of the workforce. Many farmers say that deporting workers would harm the industry. John Rosenow is a Wisconsin Dairy Farmer who has been outspoken in his belief that immigrants are critical to the success of Wisconsin’s dairy industry.
"Los Lecheros (The Dairy Farmers)", a nineteen-minute documentary, features Rosenow’s farm and workers. The documentary, produced by The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism and Twelve Letter Films, explores the tensions over immigration that have risen since 2016 and chronicles their impact on the livelihood and lives of undocumented dairy workers and dairy farmers in Wisconsin.
The screening of the full documentary will be immediately followed by an open conversation led by an qualified facilitator, provided by the Wisconsin Humanities Council.
There are many aspects to this topic--political, economical, emotional and historical, and each adds weight and complexity to any related discussion.
“Los Lecheros” is made possible by the Wisconsin Humanities Council and their "Working Lives Project" [to find out more, go to their website at www.wisconsinhumanities.org] and is part of the Driftless Historium’s 2019 theme, “Immigrants of Wisconsin: Yesterday and Today.” This year-long mix of speakers and exhibitions about both early Wisconsin’s foreign-born settlers and current immigration issues and experiences hopes to help audiences make connections and recognize patterns and change over time.

No Man's Land: An Art Installation by Eva Gabriella Fynn
The Driftless Historium hosts, "No Man's Land: Paintings from the Borderlands," an art exhibition by UW-Madison Graduate Student Eva Gabriella Flynn.
This art show features a collection of figurative paintings inspired by Flynn's experiences as a Mexican-American woman from the borderlands. Much of the work is influenced by the politics, landscape, and day-to-day normalities of life on the border. She tries to describe a paradox; a psychological experience of being between two worlds, while also belonging to two worlds. Flynn hopes to convey a visual universal language to fill in the spaces where these distinct worlds begin to collide. In the paintings, figures are displaced in abstracted landscapes with nostalgic, domestic imagery. She attempts to recreate the sense of building a home along with building an identity.
"No Man’s Land" is a contemplation on identity tied to place, the things that make up a home, the things we take with us, and the things we all share.
This free fine arts show will run from Sunday, June 30 through Saturday, August 10, 10am to 4pm daily, in the Kalscheur Family Foundation Community Education Room & Gallery.
Meet the artist at a closing reception and presentation on Saturday, August 10 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, with 5:30pm program.
"No Man's Land" is part of the Driftless Historium’s 2019 theme, “Immigrants of Wisconsin: Yesterday and Today.” With financial supported generously provided by the Mount Horeb Community Foundation, the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society has planned a year-long mix of speakers and exhibitions about both early Wisconsin’s foreign-born settlers and current immigration issues and experiences.
