Jorge Luis Morejon created and performed the Performance-piece USAforeigner from November 20th to December 4th, 2008. The piece responded to a comment made in his presence during his Modern Performance weekly seminar where he was referred by a student in the class as "the foreigner." The piece consisted in wearing the sign foreigner on his forehead with an American passport hanging from his neck while attending his classes and meetings on campus. He also created a blog by the same name where those who inquired about the performance would be invited to share similar stories by writing them on the USAforeigner blog.
