This exhibition questions intersections of identity and place. As an Afro-Dominican, first generation female American, telling our stories in a space where it has been erased is crucial to my practice. As an educator, this exhibition is created as a conversation starter and hopefully a way to understand the complexities of identity, colorism, discrimination and prejudices in America and the Caribbean.
