The Pubic raffle concept is intentionally used to promote engagement with the 2015 California statewide legislation to hang laundry or "Right To Dry." This blog is concerned with the 2016 participation element, while communicating the research and experiences from the public raffles.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I never saw clotheslines
in Riverside. I figure most people had the same idea my parents had when they
moved here in 1987: to find a slice of suburbia that was affordable. Before
Riverside, my family lived near my father’s work in Santa Ana, Orange County,
but with a family my size, we needed space, and space in Orange County is
expensive. Very expensive. With their budget, my parent’s only options were
rundown fixer uppers, usually 2 bedrooms, and almost always in neighborhoods
not well suited for raising children. There was another option, though: take a
40 minute drive down the 91 and look there, in Riverside. For the same price as
a 1 bedroom in Orange County, my family could afford a 4 bedroom, with a
jacuzzi and pool to boot. My family took up this offer, and soon became part of
a new boom of commuters working in Los Angeles/Orange County. We were struggling
working class in Orange County, but found the American Dream in Riverside. Low
property taxes, big yards, and quiet neighborhoods. There were no laundromats or
clotheslines here, we were in the peace, safety, and convenience of the
suburbs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I was born in 1991,
shortly after my family had settled in. My home was situated between dirt hills
and orange groves, in a neighborhood composed of cul-de-sac after cul-de-sac.
As a child the open spaces and farmland made for great play areas, but as I
grew into a more angsty teen, what made my parents love Riverside made me
resent it. Without a car you were crushed by the sprawl, and nightlife and
excitement were virtually nonexistent. All the concerts and events were in LA
or Orange County, and no one wanted to drive in traffic to get there. The
opportunities and fun were all seemingly outside, away from here. Riverside
felt like a trap, like a poor imitation of a real city. This wasn’t where
things were happening, it was where you watched things happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My parents, however, were
vindicated. Riverside grew and grew, and their 100k 4 bedroom home had suddenly
become extremely valuable. Morning door to door proselytizers were now real
estate agents and appraisers encouraging you to move or refinance. My parent’s
home was now worth close to 500 thousand dollars, almost 5 times my parent’s
mortgage. Until it wasn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Just like that, what drew
so many working class people to Riverside was virtually gone. When the
financial crisis hit, almost all of Riverside’s money was tied to real estate.
The dream was gone, and what we woke up to was terrifying. The most common
architectural feature of Riverside were the wood frames of halted development.
Every pristine suburban neighborhood was now littered with empty homes,
distinguishable by their dead grass and foreclosure notices. Riverside soon
became popular for topping lists created by publications like Forbes or The
Economist detailing the cities most adversely affected by the recession. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And then with the city, I
too collapsed. Literally collapsed, just from getting up from bed, and my pale
complexion and constant illness could no longer be ignored. I checked into the
hospital shortly after my 19<sup>th</sup> birthday on September 3<sup>rd</sup>,
2010, and by September 15<sup>th</sup> I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic
Leukemia. Now this area, Riverside, the Inland Empire, which I resented for
most of my life, would get to work saving my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I responded to treatment
well (as “well” as someone can respond to 3 years of chemotherapy, radiation,
and steroid treatment) and by 2014 I had mostly recovered. Amazingly, it seemed
Riverside had begun to recover as well. Development had started back up again,
new, exciting areas of nightlife had emerged, and we as a city were getting
more attention than ever. University of California, Riverside was expanding and
impressing more and more people around the country, and I was accepted to study
my passion of Anthropology there. I couldn’t help but feel so very alive in my
city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On the Line, as a result,
symbolized all the growing I have done alongside this city. Before I don’t
think anyone would have associated Riverside with art, collaboration, and
education. Here I was in a city I once felt symbolized the sterile, monotonous
modern suburb was now hosting an exhibit created by the collaboration of
scholars and artist. It had created a site that was filled with life; that
inspired me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> When I offered the
opportunity to win the laundry supplies, the discussions I had about laundry
and the experience it offered showed me that we weren’t a city of commuters
looking for the quickest, most convenient way. People were interested in being
connected to their neighbors, their experiences, and their home. In a way, the
discussions surrounding our laundry and the way we do it, whether it be
managing the annoyance of public laundromats, seeking help from our parents and
peers, or planning an outdoor clothesline, made me feel and witness the variety
and life of Riverside. To me, it felt like together we were creating a new
Riverside culture from the ashes of its brief collapse, all inspired by the
discussion created by an area where ideas, discussion, and art converged. Right
here in Riverside.</span>ChrisAlcalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08454985588034136483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765996349451808954.post-54692735803596767272016-05-23T10:34:00.000-04:002016-05-23T10:34:19.928-04:00Continuing Participation with "LIVE" Blogging<span style="font-family: "helvetica";">On
Saturday, May 21<sup>st</sup> my role for the <i>Public Raffle</i></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> was to be a "LIVE" blogger during the <a href="http://ontheline.ucr.edu/" target="_blank"><i>On the Line</i></a></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> event. I chose to feature a
couple of set-up activities from the event to be included as posts, since the
raffle concept is integrated with the other programming that is scheduled. By
communicating Edith’s previous structure for the <i>Public Raffle</i></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> (refer to March 29<sup>th</sup> and April 1<sup>st</sup>,
2016 blog posts) to Christopher and Kelsey, University of California, Riverside
Anthropology students, I became aware of their familiarity with the area of
Casa Blanca and memories of clotheslines. To stay focused on the multi-voice
initiative that began this blog, I extended their participation beyond managing
the raffle at Casa Blanca Library.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span>During
the drawing of the raffle, I refrained from interviewing the raffle winner. We
did have a casual conversation and I offered the opportunity for him to include
a post concerning his experiences with the winning clothesline objects from the
raffle. I understand with this approach there is a chance of not obtaining any
future content, but I wanted the raffle winner to feel comfortable with sharing
his experiences on a public post and have a chance to utilize the objects. The
malleable characteristics of the blog offer an unlimited time to post as long
as the blog is live. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";">Other
technical aspects that I have considered from my experience of "LIVE" blogging
are the strength of the Internet signal and unedited video footage. Posting
unedited video footage to the blog posts made me consider my content for the
post. I chose activities that offered more action related scenes than
conversational pieces between participants. I believe the activities lend
themselves to the unedited footage style, while documenting a few of the
preprogramming events. There was not a strong Internet signal in the garden
area of the Casa Blanca Library to upload video and images efficiently to my
blog draft. I had to spend time in the library to upload and post. While this
element is out my control it does affect the timing of my post and the media
contents availability. My four posts are suitable for the shorter time-period
event and type of accessibility of the Internet. </span></div>

This afternoon I got to experience the<a href="http://ontheline.ucr.edu/" target="_blank"> On the Line</a> programming, while working with two other University of California, Riverside Anthropology students who were managing the public raffle. We kept Edith's methods of collecting names from the two previous library sites. I announced the winner of the raffle and learned more how they were going to use the objects. I am glad to have the opportunity to experience the raffle within the program today. </div>

The topic of laundry is something that could be seemingly insignificant, but the stories I gathered show us how meaningful laundry can truly be.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the stories that stood out to me was that of Young Oh. He was raised in South Korea and remembers seeing his mother hunch over to wash clothing regularly. The constant strain on his mother's back caused her to need surgery. Oh expressed how grateful he is for his mother's effort and care. It made him want to pursue a career as a doctor and cure people who were sick like his mother once was. Oh's family found that in order to make their mother's life easier it was necessary for them to purchase laundry machines. He then explained that laundry machines are a luxury to him and his family. Young Oh's story made me realize that what may seem as something common in one part of the world, may be a very luxurious item in another. Most importantly, however, I learned of the undeniable sacrifice that mothers are willing to put for the care of their loved ones. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another story that comes to mind is that of Azeem Rahman. He told me that in England, where his family is from, there is almost always rain. Hanging clothes on clotheslines can be a very frustrating chore because the clothing may never get dry. Relative to the weather we have in California where it is mostly sunny daily, England can rarely enjoy "nature's dryer"; the sun.<br />
<br />
In addition to these two stories, a couple of people expressed that doing laundry is very soothing. It is as if with every new change of freshly washed clothing there is the start of something new. Another said that he dislikes the disappearances of his clothing in the dryer. Having one sock without its pair can be frustrating. Ultimately, we all have at least one laundry story that has, in one way or another, shaped our perspectives on aspects of our daily lives.<br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
<i>Public Raffle</i></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> proposal offers
a universal participation element without including monetary exchange. Instead
the raffle offers the opportunity to acknowledge the California statewide
legislation for “Right to Dry” that is intended for individuals to aid in
energy conservation.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
California statewide legislation intrigued me, so I investigated laws from my
home state, Delaware. I have never been under a residency ordinance that
prohibits hanging laundry outside. I have grown-up with the tradition of
hanging laundry out to dry and have observed my suburban neighbors in the
everyday practice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
have done some local research on my neighborhood restrictions that are dated
from 1954. These restrictions are recorded with the State of Delaware Deed
Records. Restriction number ten is specifically about drying laundry. Below the image shows the wording of the detailed instructions for drying laundry
in the backyard. </span></div>

other neighbor has old metal T posts that are permanently set-up in the ground
to construct laundry lines. Those metal poles were there from my previous

<a href="http://www.sightline.org/2012/02/21/clothesline-bans-void-in-19-states/" target="_blank">2012 Sightline Institute</a> article argues that outside laundry drying relies on
solar energy. While laws in Delaware (Title 29 Chapter 80) allow for roof
mounted solar energy systems there are no specific laws for clotheslines. The
article refers to the State of Oregon law that voids restrictions on “solar
radiation as a source for heating, cooling or electrical energy.” Solar rights
in specific US states can include clotheslines as a low-tech version of solar
power by the act of hang-drying, which relies on the sun’s radiation to
evaporate water in wet laundry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

less on solar drying and more on wind power for my laundry and energy
conservation. In the fall season the sun’s heat is less intense in the northern

Being that Los Angeles (where I am from) is about an hour away from Riverside, I did not visit too often. Although my mother is very accustomed to the city life, I recall her saying things like "Riverside is very calm" and "There are many ranches here, it reminds me of Mexico". When we visited my uncle Hector, I remember thinking that Riverside was a smaller version of Los Angeles. In fact, many areas in Riverside have pasteurization of fruits and vegetables (especially citrus), farm animals, and ranches.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div>
According to the census of 2014 approximately 48% of people living in Riverside identify as Hispanic or Latino. It is a possibility that, like my mother, many people love Riverside for its green lands, space for farming, and maybe even the resemblance that Riverside has to the places they once lived in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I was admitted into the University of California, Riverside, I got a better feel for, not only the demographics, but also the impact that community involvement has on Riverside county. The most recent example of such impact is the "On the Line" art exhibition project. I found out about this project through Professor Susan Ossman during an Anthropology Club meeting. I was curious about it, so I told Professor Ossman I was willing to help. One of my main responsibilities during our first "On the Line" exhibition was to manage the raffle introduced to us by Carrie Ida Edinger. I was asked to make a poster that announced the raffle and I took the opportunity to show the environmental benefit of hanging clothing on clotheslines. I drew a long clothesline and hung a couple of pieces of <br />
clothing on it. The sun on the poster was used as a way for people to see that the sun is a powerful source of natural energy that could help us dry our clothes faster and preserve colors better. </div>
<div>

I also wrote the words "Laundry Raffle" in English and Spanish. Based on what I know about the high population of "Hispanics" in Riverside I knew it would be beneficial to use Spanish to help incorporate more people into the raffle. As I was walking around to ask people to join the raffle I held conversations with those who only spoke Spanish and it made me realize that making a bilingual raffle sign is something that allowed "Hispanic" people to know that a raffle was happening in this event. It is a way of being inclusive of other people and let them know that we want them to take part of the event too. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Being part of this project was one of the best decisions I have made during my time in college. With "On the Line" I heard people of many backgrounds take the basic concept of hanging clothing on clotheslines and turn it into something very poetic and significant to them. It deepened my personal understanding of the importance of paying mind to the seemingly minor details of everyday life. </div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> Our correspondence
continued with me emailing her questions of how she managed the raffle, how was
the participatory aspect received by the public, any interesting conversations

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
intended to incorporate Edith’s experiences into my writing, which was planned
to be posted on the <a href="http://ontheline.ucr.edu/" target="_blank"><i>On The Line</i></a></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">
website. This writing was part of my preliminary proposal to aid in the
documentation of the background and experiences from the raffle. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
her email Edith shared with me how she organized and managed the raffle. I was
pleased that my proposal was not followed like instructions, but more as a
loose structure. One example of the methods Edith used at the Arlanza
Library location was that she collected names on paper for the raffle drawing instead
of distributing prefab raffle tickets. Edith mentioned how her signage was
effective by having the public approach her about what was being raffled off. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
I began my first stage of writing, the bilingual signage is what provoked more
questions about the participatory elements of the raffle. I knew Edith’s
experiences came from either her research with the neighborhoods near Arlanza

<a href="http://ontheline.ucr.edu/" target="_blank"><i>On The Line</i></a></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> exhibits and
programming have always included national and global perspectives in
conjunction with the Riverside, California community. Residing on the East
Coast, I viewed the library as being a common local location that usually is
found nationally in urban to rural environments. The library locations offer
public accessibility within a community structure. The library sites for the
2016 <i>On The Line </i></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";">program were
among the main components that formed the <i>Public Raffle</i></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> proposal. </span><br />
