I created this piece to enrapture the existence and daily struggles of living as an Afro-latina. I have really enjoyed learning about how race, specifically blackness, is perceived in Latinx countries. The words in the silhouette represent the realities that many of these women face on a day-to-day basis whether it is blatant or insidious. I apologize for the doodles… that happened in a way less interesting setting than this class.
