About this Event

Join us as we do a deep dive into the fascinating work of Afro-Dominican artist and scholar, Patricia Encarnación (she/they). Encarnación is an Afro-Dominican interdisciplinary artist whose work critically engages with colonial legacies across various cultural layers within Afro-diasporic communities. Through explorations of material culture, collective memory, and cultural identity, Encarnación challenges tropes of Caribbean and tropical aesthetics by recontextualizing everyday objects, landscapes, and aesthetics from her upbringing. In this session, we will explore examples of her diverse artistic projects and provide a hands-on art activity based on her themes. This session is in-person and includes light refreshments.
